Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Beaufort. To book the largest rental within your budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• In the Morehead City area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, 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 happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine upon arrival. 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 articles, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Select dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Central Historic Beaufort Home: Walk to Waterfront has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If there's an individual Morehead City beach you long to visit, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
