Tips to get the best Morehead City vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best value, change your family's Morehead City trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area visitor guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Pool, Game Room, 5 Ensuite BRs & Ocean Views! has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If not, email the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your group.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
