Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Morehead City vacation property experience:

When to visit Emerald Isle & When to reserve a Morehead City rental home:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Emerald Isle. To get the best value, change your family's Morehead City vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the best vacation home in Emerald Isle:

• First and foremost, have your group agree to date ranges and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront 8 bedroom\/sleeps 20 with large gathering and outdoor areas has 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is suitable for your group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to stimulate new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
