Tricks and tips to get the best vacation property experience:

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

• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in New Bern. To get the largest rental within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Morehead City area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking the rightrental:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Pristine Cottage w\/ Access to the Trent River has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Morehead City beach you are crazy about, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to compel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
