Are you dreaming about the ultimate beach vacation that is the most fun and memorable for all? A Place at the Beach has it all, whether you’re interested in non-stop recreation or round-the-clock relaxation.
This resort destination sits oceanside, with direct beach access right at your back door. Stroll along the Crystal Coast searching for shells, swim in the sea, or rest your weary bones in the sand! Head back for outdoor bowling and tennis or to slip and slide in the outdoor pool (open through October). When the weather is cooler, head to the indoor pool with the kiddos and then to the selection of grilles for a nighttime of burgers and dogs and corn on the cob.
The Salty Pirate, unit 260, embraces the philosophy, “Life is Better in Flip Flops,” and it’s better at this place at the beach. Inside is comfortable but coastal, with a well-equipped kitchen, open layout, and roomy living room. The decor is reminiscent of the sea and sky in shades of blue and green with a relaxing neutral backdrop. The sooner you book your reservation, the quicker you will be appreciating coffee or drinks from your balcony — and loving the ocean breeze.

The outdoor pool closes from November 1 through mid-April.

Booking the best rental home experience:

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

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Atlantic Beach. Reserve your rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. The Salty Pirate at APATB Resort in Atlantic Beach, NC has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, contact the host before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
