Tips and Tricks for getting the best New Bern vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular New Bern attractions.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Ocean Front Cottage with Mother-in-law Suite has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience 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 remedy it.
