Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Morehead City area. To find the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• In the Morehead City area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. SINGLE Family Ocean Front - Howard's Hideaway has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
