Booking the best Emerald Isle vacation home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the largest vacation home within budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

• First, have your family select a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Classic Ocean Front Cottage - 1 Level and close to town! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Morehead City rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your family.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Additional considerations:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. message the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to stimulate new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review.
