Getting the best Morehead City vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best vacation home for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Selecting and booking your prefect Morehead City rental home:

• Start by having your group choose a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Experience living on a Houseboat and a fisherman's delight! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If not, call the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a particular Morehead City beach you simply love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Make a record of any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
