Tips for getting the best Emerald Isle vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Morehead City area. To get the best value, shift your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. 'West of the Moon' Ocean Apt w\/ Beach Access! has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Traveling with pets? 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. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
