Strategies to get the optimal rental home experience:

Get the best value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, shift your family's Morehead City vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, management companies supply Morehead City area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect rental in Atlantic Beach:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. April's Retreat Oceanfront condo in Atlantic Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Morehead City attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Know before you go:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
