Strategies to get the optimal Morehead City vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Morehead City area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in Beaufort. To find the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning and choosing your prefect Morehead City rental:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Central Historic Beaufort Home: Walk to Waterfront has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's an individual Morehead City destination you love, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
