Strategies to get the perfect Emerald Isle vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• To book the largest rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Morehead City restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfectvacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Oceanfront 8 bedroom\/sleeps 20 with large gathering and outdoor areas has 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Morehead City rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your trip.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
