Strategies to get the perfect vacation home experience:

When to visit Pine Knoll Shores & When to reserve a Morehead City rental home:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, , and reduced traffic.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies supply Morehead City area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfect Morehead City rental:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Beach GetAway. Quality Time: Bird Watch, Collect Shells, Walk, Bike, Fish, Wi-Fi has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before booking the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
