Where to find and book a great vacation rental:

Before you book "*Great Stay!* Emerald Isle Bungalow One Minute Walk to Both Beach & Sound!", go through our brief collection of issues to consider.

The Earlier, The Better

Morehead City vacation homes are reserved several months (and up to a year) in advance. To assure the greatest choice of properties, we recommend searching and reserving your Morehead City rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates, whenever feasible. A lot of groups choose to start their search during Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve gatherings.

Select your Area and Vacation Week

Oftentimes, the most challenging portion of preparing for your vacation is deciding where to search, and when. As soon as the big decisions are tackled, the rest becomes simplier and easier.

Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

How many family members are joining your getaway? Consider that most rentals advertise maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in the home's living room. You'll need to figure out what is suitable for your family. Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are usually available on the internet. If not, communicate with the property manager before you book.

Create a Budget

Check to make sure "*Great Stay!* Emerald Isle Bungalow One Minute Walk to Both Beach & Sound!" satisfies your price range *during your desired week*. If a few individuals or family members are sharing the cost, make sure each group understands their responsibilities and has approved a maximum they are prepared to chip in. One member of your party must be given the task of gathering repayments and accepting responsibility for the whole rental fee at time of reservation.

Its All About Amenities

What amenities is the family interested in? Is a screened-in deck a necessity? Do you want to be far from the crowds, or close to civilization? Are sheets included with the rental, or will you need to bring your own? Gather a list of prioritized "needs and wishes" from your group to help narrow your search to the most suitable home.

Special Conditions

Do members of your group have specialized needs? If wheel chair accessibility, elevators, pool lifts or other special equipment is required, include that into your search. The majority of rental postings will include a list of amenities.

Take the Dog

Don't forget to include your best friend! Animals are welcome at many rentals, but guidelines differ. Many limitations could dismiss a prospective rental property. Make sure to study agreements and contracts carefully. Additional fees or deposits may be applied to your contract. Ask questions *before* you book!

Searching the Internet

. Together with Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we recommend searching Google for "Morehead City local rental properties" for local vacation rental management companies. Local property management companies take pride in a first-class vacation experience.

Negotiate

Re-read the description to be certain the home has everything you need. If it is something is missing, the property management company might know of comparable properties that better suit your style and budget..

While not true for all rental properties, many property owners and property managers will negotiate rates. If the price isn't negotiable, the number of nights might be. This is more effective through the off-peak season when many properties sit empty.

Study the Total Agreement

Learn which of the following is included in your quoted rate:

• Utilities
• WIFI Access
• Telephone service
• Pool and hot tub heating
• Cable and pay-per-view TV
• Daily Cleaning (If Available)
• Trash collection
• Maintenance policies
• Key exchange
• Parking requirements

Get a total that includes taxes, pet and other additional fees.

If you need to Cancel

Cancellation policies vary for each property. Property management companies and individual property owners often offer their clients the option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs ranges from 1% - 5% of the base vacation rental rate, can provide travellers with reimbursement of their vacation costs (and subsequent rental property costs) for any nights missed due to personal health related emergencies or storms, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as a unexpected motel stay or extra gas.

Reserve It

When everything looks right, it's finally time to sign a rental agreement. Do not forget that most rental contracts will require a significant rental down payment and/or security deposit to protect the property owner.

Know Who to Call

Make sure to get the property manager's contact telephone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the contact's information in your cell phone and wallet.

During your Stay

• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental home secured while you are away, exactly like you would at home.

Leaving Paradise

• Make sure you've packed all your belongings. Sweep all the rooms in the house for forgotten possessions. Inspect bath rooms, the garage, kitchen cupboards, decks, the pool area, and anywhere else your gear might "hide".
• Make a point to walk through the rental home one last time and check for damage. If you can, do this walk-out review with the property owner present. If the property owner is not available, make sure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
