How to book the best Emerald Isle rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Morehead City area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.
