Tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

Find your best deal:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your vacation in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Morehead City area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose and book the rightvacation home:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. The Cozy Bear Bungalow has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your family.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
