Tips and Tricks to get the best Emerald Isle rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your Morehead City vacation home in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. 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 friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of 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 unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain deals for local tours and attractions.

How to choose and book yourrental:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. \nTranquil 4th Row Ocean View w Pool & Hot Tub ... Book Your Dream Oasis Now! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Morehead City rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If not, call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
