Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Morehead City rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Morehead City area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Spectacular Intracoastal Waterfront Home with Private Beach, Dock and Sunsets has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If not, call the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or might be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
