Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• In the Morehead City area, The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Morehead City area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

How to choose the best rental in Pine Knoll Shores:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Ocean-front residence with unparalleled views has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges applied to your agreement.

Have a great stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the property manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
