Tricks and tips to get the very best Morehead City vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• In the Morehead City area, The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies supply Morehead City area travel guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the best vacation rental in Emerald Isle:

• Start by having your group decide on vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Prior Engagement: Pet Friendly Beach Cottage at Emerald Isle on The Point has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
