Strategies to get the best Morehead City vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Morehead City area. Reserve your Morehead City vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Morehead City area visitor guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the best rental home in Emerald Isle:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Dark and Stormy, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a certain Morehead City beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
