How to book the best Morehead City rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Morehead City rental home:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Morehead City area. To get the best value, try changing your family's Morehead City vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Morehead City area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Selecting the best rental home:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Shell Cottage, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

Know before you go:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean 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 your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
