Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Morehead City area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your rental home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Morehead City area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to select the best rental home in the Morehead City area:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on date ranges and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 25% off for 2-week stay in Jan-April. House is the perfect home away from home! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you book the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Morehead City attraction you crave, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
