Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation property experience:

When to book a Morehead City rental & When to go:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. Booking your Morehead City vacation rental in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose and book the rightrental home:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Sea Fern Cottage - The Point @Emerald Isle for the Perfect Family Vacation has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before booking the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs might be applied to your contract.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
