Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Emerald Isle vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the New Bern area. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply New Bern area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best vacation rental in Emerald Isle:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 11 Bedroom Ocean front Sand Castle Estate has 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• If there's a particular New Bern beach you simply love, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
