Vacation rental tips:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Summertime is high season in Emerald Isle. To get the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Morehead City area, The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Morehead City area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the best vacation home:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Oceanfront views galore, steps from beach and pool has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
