Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the New Bern area. Booking your New Bern vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the perfect vacation home in the New Bern area:

• First, have your family decide on a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Beautiful 5 BR Soundfront home featuring Boat Slip, Saline Pool, Fire Pit, Hot T has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular New Bern beach you love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
