Tricks and tips to get the best Morehead City rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Morehead City vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Morehead City area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Morehead City area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. 5 BR OCEANFRONT Duplex with gorgeous views! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Morehead City beach you are crazy about, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.

• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews.
