Tips for getting the best rental experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. Booking in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking the right Morehead City rental:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 25% off for 2-week stay in Jan-April. House is the perfect home away from home! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of difficulties.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
