Morehead City rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Morehead City area visitor guides which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Select vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Shell Cottage, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
