Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area travel guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Sunny, welcoming home, close to the beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Morehead City attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from 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 great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
