Strategies to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Morehead City rental & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Morehead City rental in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. 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 a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation rental:

• Select your vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Starfish DOG-FRiENDLY in the Historic District has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If not, reach out to the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
