Tips to get the best rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and choose the perfect New Bern vacation home:

• To start, have your group choose date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 5 Bedroom 1\/2 Duplex - 2nd Row from the Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a certain New Bern attraction you long to visit, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to compel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, 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 could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
