Emerald Isle vacation rental tips and tricks:

Find your perfect rental home:

• The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are high season in Emerald Isle. Book your Morehead City vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Emerald Isle OCEANFRONT 4 BR 1/2 Duplex - watch dolphins from the deck! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or applied to your invoice.
• If there's an individual Morehead City destination you simply love, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Contact the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
