How to get the best Morehead City rental experience:

When to visit Pine Knoll Shores & When to reserve a Morehead City rental home:

• Summer time is high season in Pine Knoll Shores. To book the best rental home within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Morehead City attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• In the Morehead City area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Morehead City attraction you long to visit, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.

• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
