Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your Morehead City rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Morehead City area, The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the best rental in Atlantic Beach:

• To start, have your group select a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Oceanfront beach cottage with large deck & W/D - dog-friendly has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If not, call the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
