How to find the best rental home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Emerald Isle rental home:

• Summertime is high season in Emerald Isle. Booking your Morehead City vacation home in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. SINGLE Family Ocean Front - Howard's Hideaway has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. text the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
