Strategies to get the optimal Morehead City vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Atlantic Beach. Booking in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Morehead City area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the perfect vacation rental:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Papa Jim's Front Porch-Oceanview Condo, Community Pool, 2 min walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your trip.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. text the rental manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
