Tricks and tips for getting the best Morehead City rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Beaufort. To find the best value, try changing your family's Morehead City vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the perfect Morehead City rental home:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Secluded waterfront home that is 5 min away from downtown Beaufort has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. Otherwise, email the host before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Morehead City attraction you long to visit, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Have a great stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
