Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• In the Morehead City area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Book your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base 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 evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Morehead City visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing a perfectrental home:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Oceanfront Cottage with Private Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. If not, email the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's an individual Morehead City attraction you are enamored with, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

During your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
