Strategies for getting the best Morehead City vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summertime is high season in Emerald Isle. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, , and reduced traffic.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Morehead City area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the best vacation home in the Morehead City area:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Beautiful cottage w\/ocean views - steps away from the beach! Dog Friendly! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before you book your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a great stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. 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?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
