Our top Beaufort rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Morehead City rental & When to go:

• In the Morehead City area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.

You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Morehead City attractions.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.

• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More tips for your visit:

• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, 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.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
