Tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• In the Morehead City area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning and picking a perfect Morehead City rental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Family & Dog Friendly Oceanfront has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before booking your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what is best for your family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Morehead City attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
