Morehead City rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Morehead City rental home & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in the Morehead City area. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Morehead City vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before booking your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Morehead City destination you are crazy about, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of concerns.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Please be objective.
