Tips to get the very best Morehead City vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• 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 discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Finding the best vacation home in New Bern:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Magnolia Manor has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or might be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact 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 will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
