Tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Summer time is high season in the Morehead City area. Booking in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Morehead City area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose and book the perfectvacation home:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Well maintained 4 bed\/4 bath house in quiet area has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.

Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
