Getting the best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of 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 local articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Double Up in Downtown New Bern! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
