Our top Morehead City rental home booking tips:

When to go & When to book:

• In the Morehead City area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summer time is high season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your Morehead City vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of 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 overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, management companies supply Morehead City area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking yourvacation home:

• Choose your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanfront views galore, steps from beach and pool has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If not, contact the property owner before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• During check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peace. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
