Our top Emerald Isle rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to reserve a New Bern rental & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Emerald Isle. Booking your New Bern vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Whaley Good Livin’ has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what is right for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a certain New Bern beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
