Finding the best rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. 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 information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. TOP 5% rated, Nautical-themed Beaufort Bungalow near Downtown Beautiful Gardens has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
