Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Morehead City vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Morehead City area. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Morehead City area travel guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best rental in the Morehead City area:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Pool - Ocean Front - Dogs OK! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, call the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
