Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Reserve your Morehead City rental home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing and booking a perfectrental home:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Gorgeous water views, pet friendly, and private fenced in backyard! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If not, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Morehead City attraction you love, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
