Tips for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Morehead City area. Booking in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oceanfront 8 bedroom\/sleeps 20 with large gathering and outdoor areas has 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Morehead City destination you long to visit, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the property manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to inspire more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
