Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Blue Whale, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If not, call the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what bed configuration is best for your group.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of issues.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
