Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your New Bern rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to select the best vacation home in Emerald Isle:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Family friendly getaway, 4 min walk from beach, quiet Bluewater Bay area has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out 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 family have a excellent stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
