Morehead City rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Morehead City area. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to select the best rental home:

• Choose your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Sunshine Manor has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Morehead City destination you long to visit, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make certain no damages are linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
