Morehead City rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the most suitable rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Morehead City area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and pick your Morehead City rental:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Summer Shade - sound and beach access. Newly remodeled and furnished in 2023! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If there's an individual Morehead City beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
