Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

When to book a Morehead City rental & When to go:

• The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• To get the best value, consider changing your family's Morehead City vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have discounts for local tours and attractions.

How to choose the best rental home in the Morehead City area:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Flip Flop Inn, Almost Oceanfront Duplex in Emerald Isle, NC! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

During your stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to propel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
