Tips to get the optimal rental home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Morehead City area. Book your Morehead City rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Morehead City area travel guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the best vacation home:

• First and foremost, have your group select a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Sunny, welcoming home, close to the beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out 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 family have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
