Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• In the New Bern area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Book your New Bern rental property in Fall or Spring months 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family 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 manager or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the perfect vacation rental:

• Choose vacation week and budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. LAST MINUTE OPENING for memorial day - 2nd row, views, heated pool & volleyball has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the host before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address 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 comments.
