Our top New Bern vacation rental tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

• To start, have your group decide on the best dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Dark and Stormy, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the host before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.

More tips for your stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, 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 had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
