Finding the best Emerald Isle rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Emerald Isle. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the New Bern area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing and booking your prefect New Bern rental home:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. 3 Bed/3 Bath ~ 2nd Floor Oceanfront Prime Condo ~ Elevator ~ 1205 Queens Court has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific New Bern attraction you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct 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 feedback.
