Booking the best Morehead City rental home experience:

When to visit Atlantic Beach & When to book:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your Morehead City vacation home in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. April's Retreat Oceanfront condo in Atlantic Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property owner before you book the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the host immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
