Tips to get the optimal Morehead City rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in New Bern. To find the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to date ranges and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Welcoming Trent River Cottage w\/ Fire Pit & Grill! has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or may be applied to your invoice.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
