When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• In the Morehead City area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early.

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation!
