Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Morehead City area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the best vacation rental:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Oceanfront 8 bedroom/sleeps 20 with large gathering and outdoor areas has 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
