Strategies to get the perfect Emerald Isle rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Reserve your New Bern rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation home:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Shelly's Place West - Oceanview townhome in the heart of Emerald Isle has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If not, reach out to the host before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• During check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
