How to get the best Elizabeth City rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Elizabeth City area. To get the best vacation home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Elizabeth City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Elizabeth City area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Elizabeth City area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing your prefect Elizabeth City vacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Fully restored historic apartment in Downtown Elizabeth City has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
