Rental home booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your prefectrental home:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Emerald Isle OCEANFRONT 4 BR 1\/2 Duplex - watch dolphins from the deck! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Morehead City rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Morehead City beach you crave, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
