The open dining and living spaces showcase a pretty white kitchen with granite countertops and updated appliances, complemented by a calming neutral décor and continuous LVP floor.

Our top Emerald Isle rental booking tips:

How to get the best value:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Morehead City area. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area visitors guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in the Morehead City area:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Oceanfront Oasis w/double covered porch 4 BR/2BA - updated Emerald Isle classic! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific Morehead City destination you are enamored with, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Additional considerations:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
