Search Early and Often

To assure the most desirable choice of homes, we recommend searching and reserving your Morehead City getaway Six-12 months before your travel dates, whenever possible. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental home..

Select your Area and Travel Week

Begin by deciding which particular area of Morehead City you prefer to browse, and the approximate dates you'll be vacationing.

Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

How many relatives are joining your trip? Try to remember that a lot of rental homes list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in the living room space. You will need to determine what is most appropriate for the party. Most vacation home listings will describe each one of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattress sizes.

Make a Spending Limit

Will your chosen rental home fit your budget during that choice Summer week? If a few individuals or families are sharing the cost, confirm that each party understands their responsibilities and has approved a maximum they are willing to chip in. Most rental contracts require a single individual to be responsible for the entire reservation.

Let's Talk Amenities

What home features is the group interested in? Do you just want a property with a pool, jacuzzi or volleyball court? Do you desire to be away from it all, or close to a city setting? Are linens included with the rental contract, or do you need to take your own? Create a list of priority features to facilitate narrow your search.

Accessability

Grandparents will appreciate you for not reserving a stairs-only condominium on the Third floor. If wheel chair entry, elevators, pool lifts or other special devices are required, factor that into your search. Nearly all vacation home postings will include a list of amenities.

Your Puppy Needs a Holiday, Too

Are you or other members of the party visiting with a four-legged friend? Even though many rentals permit pets, rules and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds can be restricted. Study your agreement carefully! Extra fees or deposits may be applied to your agreement.

Searching the Internet

Negotiate the Price

When you have found your dream rental, check to confirm your trip dates are available.

Although not true for all properties, many rental owners and property managers will make a deal on rates. If the price isn't negotiable, the number of nights may be. Off-peak weeks will be negotiable more frequently than peak-season..

If you need to Cancel

Trip insurance, which usually costs ranges from 1% - 5% of your base rental price, provides vacationers with reimbursement of their vacation costs (and subsequent rental costs) for any nights missed resulting from personal medical emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation expenses, such as a unforeseen hotel stay or additional gas.

During your Stay

• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your stay, create a record of any problem areas of the property. Contact the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about liability later, having the documented problems and contact attempts could be very helpful.
• Ask questions. When there is any ambiguity about parking, rules of the house, condo access, pool functions, etc... we recommend you ask the rental home manager immediately. A brief phone call eliminates many problems.
• Please be considerate of the community. Permanent residents often times live within earshot. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your home.
• Ask a local. Natives can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great date night, or the best places for night life?
• Make certain to protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental home secured when you are away, just like you would at home.

When its Time to Leave

• Clean up a little bit. Even though you're having to pay a housekeeping fee, The vacation home should be in good condition. Kitchen sinks full of dirty dishes, excessive sand on the floors and sticky messes should really be remedied before leaving.
• Once everything is out, do a walk-through of the rental home to be certain no damage occurred during your stay. We advise walking through with the rental manager wherever possible (often this isn't possible).. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have an enjoyable time? Virtually all rental property web sites ask for reviews after your stay is complete. Rental owners and property managers will appreciate your glowing critiques. If anything went wrong, we advise being understanding but genuine about your experience. The best property owners and managers will work very hard to correct the situation.

Iterate

Hold a debrief with the members of your group. Does everyone want to go back? If everything was wonderful, next year's vacation planning is going to be simple and easy. Maybe the rental wasn't perfect, and you'll better understand how to improve your search next time.
