Vacation rental tips:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• In the Morehead City area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer is high season in Pine Knoll Shores. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Morehead City vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation home in the Morehead City area:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Cosgrove's Cove has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the property manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback 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 remedy it.
