Our top Emerald Isle rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Morehead City area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Morehead City area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing yourrental:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Family cottage located in the heart of Emerald Isle, 3-5 minute walk to beach! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, call the host before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
