Our family home, designed by my grandmother, has been my family's favorite place to go for more than 50 years. It has one purpose--to allow a enormous group of people to stay under one roof and have a great time at the beach. The bedrooms are modest so that the common areas can be sizable. It just feels right and comfortable and homey. The details:

Upstairs level (beach level):
Turquoise bedroom, 1 king bed, 1 half bath
Yellow bedroom, 1 double and 1 twin, 1 half bath
Green bedroom, 2 twins, 1 semi-attached full bath

Downstairs (road level):
Left bedroom, 2 twins, 1 sink, and 1 half bath down the hall
Right bedroom, 2 twins, 1 half bath
Back bedroom, 1 king, 1 twin, and 1 half bath
Former maid's quarters, 2 twins separated by a divider (very modest rooms)

2 standalone showers downstairs shared by everybody in the home
The laundry room is beside one of the showers.

The kitchen is well supplied with cookware, perhaps overly well supplied.

The downstairs has a common area with a TV if you need to escape.

Towel and complete linen service is supplied.

The crown jewels of the home:
The common area upstairs with dining, TV, and conversation and reading area (about 12'x 36')
The front deck with a third of the deck shaded by an upper deck sunbathing and viewing area (about 12'x45')

If you want to be alone, you can find a nook to be by yourself. If you want to be with people, you can be with people.

The beach is a 100 foot walk down the boardwalk, down the stairs, and 50 feet through the dunes. the entire property is kept as natural as possible.

Morehead City rental home booking tips:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer is high season in the Morehead City area. To get the best value, try changing your family's Morehead City vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Morehead City area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Third generation house has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
