Tips and Tricks for getting the best Emerald Isle rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Book your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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 months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Morehead City area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides contain deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• To start, have your family commit to date ranges and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 'West of the Moon' Ocean Apt w\/ Beach Access! has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Morehead City vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what is best for your trip.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Know before you go:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review 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 quickly to fix it.
