The Wacky Turtle is an refreshed, appealing two story townhouse with it's own dock on a splendid canal. Bring your fishing rod! Tie up your skiff or modest fishing boat on your own dock. This beautiful home is in a "Norman Rockwell" like community which is safe for running, walking, and appreciating the outdoors. If you like to golf you are a stone's throw from the community golf course with a restaurant & open to the public. Savor your morning coffee and the handsome view from the 2nd story balcony or from the deck off of the lanai or your personal dock on the water. Why is it named the Wacky Turtle? The turtles like to visit the dock area. Eat outdoors on the deck with the gas grille.

The 2nd bedroom has an attached sitting room with a daybed/trundle. This is the room that can be used as a 3rd bedroom, separated by toile drapes. This bedroom has a balcony overlooking the canal.

Our top Rental home booking tips:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Booking in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Morehead City area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. LOVELY WATERFRONT TOWNHOUSE WITH DOCK, KAYAK & PADDLE BOARD has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. If not, email the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is optimal for your trip.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs might be applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Morehead City beach you are crazy about, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
