How to Book a Vacation Home

Many people are surprised to learn the number of rental homes can be found in their area of interest. Rental home accommodations have gained in popularity with the rise of international research sites like Homeaway and VRBO.

Rentals are often owner operated or managed by property management companies. For owners not directly involved with the management of their vacation home, management companies are critical in helping families with booking, check-in, housekeeping, as well as repairs and maintenance issues that may occur.

Here are some ideas and techniques to help you navigate the rental home search and booking process.

The Sooner, The Better

Like many desirable vacation spots, In Morehead City the best vacation homes are booked early. To find the best selection, start your planning and search Six-12 months prior to your vacation. Holiday gatherings can be a great time for groups to plan their Summer escapes..

Choose your Place and Travel Week

Consensus can be tough between relatives, but the moment this challenging part is complete everything will start to fall in place.

Selecting an Properly-Sized Vacation rental

Confirm who is going, and how many/what kind of bedroom setup you should have. Bear in mind that many rentals advertise maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in the living area. You'll need to figure out what is acceptable for your company. Precise descriptions of bedrooms and beds are typically available on the internet. If not, get in touch with the property manager before you book.

Determine Your Budget

Most vacation rentals are marketed with a price range. Confirm the cost for your desired week. It might be at the top end of the range. Make sure that you get cost-sharing commitments from family and friends well before booking a pricey rental home. A single member of your company must be given the task of getting contributions and agreeing to responsibility for the whole rental fee at time of reservation.

Compose a list of "Wants" and "Needs"

What amenities is the group looking for? Do you only desire a home with a pool, spa tub or volleyball court? Are you more enthusiastic about a natural landscape or night life? Does the rental have bicycles and body boards available for use as part of your stay? Make a list of priority features to facilitate narrow your search.

Special Factors to consider

Grandpa and Grandma will appreciate you for not reserving a stairs-only condominium on the 3rd floor. Make sure to remember and inquire about wheelchair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment requirements..

Your Puppy Deserves a Vacation, Too

Make sure you include your companion! Pets are welcome at a number of rental properties, but guidelines differ. A number of restrictions could eliminate a potential rental property. Ensure that you read agreements and contracts carefully. Extra fees or deposits may be applied to your contract. Ask questions *well before* you book!

Searching the Internet

A number of websites exist to match renters with property owners.. In addition to Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we recommend searching Google for "Morehead City local vacation rentals" for local rental management companies. Local rental home management companies proudly offer a top-quality rental experience.

Negotiate the Price

Re-read the description to make sure the vacation rental has everything required. If it is lacking, the home management company may know of comparable homes that fit your style and budget..

While not true for all rental homes, many rental owners and property managers will make a deal on rates. If they are hesitant to budge on a peak-season stay, try getting an additional night. Off-peak weeks will likely be negotiable more often than peak-season..

Trip Insurance

Cancellation policies vary for each rental. Many rental property agreements include an option for trip insurance. Trip insurance, which ordinarily costs between 1% - 5% of the standard rental home cost, provides vacationers with reimbursement of their vacation costs (and subsequent rental home costs) for any nights missed as a consequence of personal medical emergencies or storms, as well as hurricane evacuation expenses, such as a unexpected hotel stay or extra gas.

During your Stay

• Take pictures on your arrival. Take notes of any damages soon after you arrive. If you discover damage, or if repairs are required call the home manager right away. This can protect against disputes during checkout.
• Ask questions. If you have any ambiguity about parking, policies of the property, property access, pool operation, etc... we suggest you ask the rental manager immediately. A phone call can save several hours of hassle.
• Remember to be a good neighbor. Permanent residents more often than not live within earshot. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking restrictions can make a trip a good deal more pleasurable.
• Ask a local. Natives are a great source of advice.
• Enjoy your stay! Make certain to protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the property secured when you are away, exactly like you would in your own home.

Checking Out

• Make sure that you've packed everything. Examine drawers, bath cabinetry and wardrobes.
• When everything is out, begin a walk-through of the rental to make sure that no damage occurred during your stay. We advise walking through with the property manager wherever possible (this may not be possible).. If the property manager is not available, make certain to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your trip? Many rental sites request feedback after your stay . Rental owners and property managers will thank you for glowing reviews. If anything was wrong and they did not correct it in a practical manner, or if the rental home wasn't as described, you'll want to note that as part of your critique.

Learn from your Stay

Hold a meeting with your family. Did they love their stay? Maybe everything turned out to be ideal and you are ready to reserve the same rental home for your next vacation. If not, you've gained useful rental search experience to help with another search.
