Tricks and tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Morehead City area. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in the Morehead City area:

• Select dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. 3BR Cottage - short walk to the beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• 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! Additional fees or costs applied to your invoice.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to propel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
