Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Whaley Good Livin’ has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what bed configuration is best for your trip.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Morehead City attraction you simply love, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

More considerations:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors 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 on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
