Tips to get the best rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Atlantic Beach. To find the best value, consider changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the best vacation rental in the Morehead City area:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Whimsical Whale - Oceanfront Apartment has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Document any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
