Booking the best Emerald Isle rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area travel guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Start by having your family select trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Buoy Oh Buoy! Cheerful family beach cottage just a block from the Ocean & Sound! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. Otherwise, contact the host before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
