As you enter the light-filled main floor, you’re greeted with a incredible open floor plan. The designer Living Room, embellished in coastal pastels and with an intimate gas fireplace, opens to a gourmet Kitchen and a formal Dining Room that hits all the right ‘Beach Retreat’ notes with its driftwood décor.

Off the Living Room, there’s a gracious front porch, a great place for a coffee after some early morning surfing!

The Dining Room leads out to a comfortable deck that overlooks the new 14’x30’ heated, saltwater Pool and enormous Outdoor Spa. The Living Room itself extends to a phenomenal Kitchen with a giant walk-in Pantry/Laundry combo and the ideal Coffee Station/Cocktail Bar!

And, there’s split zone surround sound in the living, dining and kitchen areas to ensure a great ambiance whether you’re entertaining or just chillin’ with a margarita and some classic Beach Boys tunes.

Tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Morehead City attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Morehead City area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfectvacation home:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Pool~Spa~Golf Cart~Firepit has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Morehead City vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Morehead City destination you love, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

More considerations for your visit:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas when you arrive. message the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
