PetsMany vacationers don't want to have to leave
part of the family at home when they travel. For that reason, some of the
rental accommodations are happy to offer pet-friendly options. If you do
plan to bring a pet with you on vacation, that's one of the first things
you'll want to tell the rental agent. There are usually specific
requirements when it comes to the number of pets and sometimes there are
size limitations. Most places that are pet-friendly allow dogs, but not
cats. Be prepared to pay an additional, non-refundable fee. Some places
don't allow pets at all and vacationers who violate this rule are subject to
eviction, the loss of their deposit and payment of any damages the pet
caused. Boarding kennels and many pet services are available in the area.
(See the Traveling
with Pets section in the Hotels and Motels chapter on our website (www.insiders.com/crystalcoast) for
a link to our listing of pet-friendly accommodations.) |

Length of StayMost vacation homes and condos are rented on
a weekly basis, particularly in the summer. Some run on a Saturday to
Saturday or Sunday to Sunday rental schedule. If you would like just a few
days at the beach, check with an agency and see what can be arranged for a
two- or three-day rental. Everything is more flexible in the off-season.
Each rental unit is governed by rules and regulations spelled out in rental
brochures and contracts.

Other TipsRenting vacation accommodations is a business, so approach it that way. Be sure to read the rental agreement carefully and ask questions if there is anything you don't understand. By getting all your questions answered, you can often reduce the number of items you bring and make it an enjoyable vacation for everyone. If you are a smoker, check to see if smoking is permitted. If you are planning a house party, let the agent know in advance. If large parties are prohibited and you ignore this rule, you could be evicted and lose your money. Rental companies are usually happy to take messages and mail for you. Be sure to let those at home know the name and street address of the unit where you will be staying and the mailing address and phone number of the rental company. Most rental companies offer travel protection insurance of some type in
the event that unforeseen circumstances interrupt or cancel your vacation
plans. In many instances, this is the only way of getting reimbursed in the
case of a hurricane evacuation, so it's something to consider. When making
your reservations, be sure to ask about the company's refund and
cancellation policies.

Rental Companies
Rental companies are the local experts when
it comes to what's available in terms of weekly and long-term rentals.
The Crystal Coast offers numerous rental accommodations, and many places
are booked early in the year so it's best to plan as far ahead as
possible. Call agencies and request brochures or check their websites to
see the available cottages, condos, houses and other available options.
These resources can help you make your choice. Up-to-date brochures and
websites are a wealth of information, not only about individual rates
and policies, but also about area attractions and special events.
Generally, agencies will provide a list of items that are provided. All
of them clearly spell out the rates and policies of the rental company.
Additionally, many agencies are now using online reservations. Here we
have listed a few of the many Crystal Coast companies that handle
rentals. We have alphabetically arranged these companies for your
convenience. To receive brochures, call the agencies at the numbers
listed. |
