Booking the best vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Morehead City rental & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Emerald Isle. To find the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.

• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what bed configuration is right for your group.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• To make sure no damages are linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of problems.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
