Strategies to get the perfect Emerald Isle rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Emerald Isle. To book the best vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Crystal Coast restaurants and activities.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the best rental in the Crystal Coast area:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 'West of the Moon' Ocean Apt w\/ Beach Access! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a certain Crystal Coast beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges applied to your agreement.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
