How to find and book a great rental home:

Before you decide to book "Immaculate, 4 Bedrooms/4 Bath, w/ Pool, Exterior Elevator and Golf Cart", review our brief collection of issues to consider.

Search Early and Frequently

Morehead City rental homes start booking very early. To find the best selection, begin your planning and search 6-12 months prior to a trip. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years are excellent times to plan and book your rental..

Find your Area and Establish Dates

Consensus can be tough between family, but the moment this challenging part is finished everything will start to drop in place.

Just How Many Bedrooms?

Confirm who is going, and how many/what particular bedroom setup you need to have. Bear in mind that many vacation rentals advertise maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in the living room. You will need to determine what is acceptable for your party. Precise descriptions of bedrooms and beds are usually available online. If not, get in touch with the property manager before you book.

Have a Spending Limit

Does your favorite rental fit your budget during that popular Summer week? Make sure to get cost-sharing commitments from friends and family prior to reserving a costly rental property. A single individual in your group needs to be given the task of getting repayments and agreeing to responsibility for the whole rental cost at time of booking.

Create a list of "Wants" and "Necessities"

What amenities is your group interested in? Do you simply want a home with a pool, hot tub or volleyball court? Does the unit need to be oceanfront, in town, or in close proximity to shopping? Are items like beach chairs, grills, beach umbrellas, carts or coolers at your disposal and included in your rental home fee? Gather a list of prioritized "needs and preferences" from your group to help filter your search to the perfect home.

Special Conditions

During your Stay

• You may need guidance for a fireplace, Television or hot tub. Contact your rental manager. They are there to help. A phone call can save hours of difficulties.
• Remember to respect your nearby neighbors. Often times, nearby households are lived in by permanent locals. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by visitors next to your residence.

If something went wrong, we advise being pleasant but straightforward regarding your experience. Top owners and managers will try very hard to solve the problem.
