Tricks and tips to get the perfect New Bern vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First, have your group select the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Relaxing Family Retreat · Poolside Duplex Near the Beach has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. Otherwise, email the property owner before you reserve your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• During check-in, record any issues with the 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. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
