Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in the Morehead City area. To get the best value, consider shifting your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Shell Seekers, Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a certain Morehead City beach you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peace. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
