Tricks and tips to get the best rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Book your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by having your family select dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Ocean Idlers, Almost Oceanfront Duplex in Emerald Isle, NC! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. Otherwise, call the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the property manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
