Rental home tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area visitors guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. 3BR Cottage - short walk to the beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. If not, contact the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

More considerations:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
