Strategies for getting the best vacation home experience:

Get the best value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Morehead City attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Morehead City area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Bogue Sound Cottage with Boat Dock has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a specific Morehead City beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
