How to get the best New Bern vacation property experience:

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

• In the New Bern area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. To book the most suitable rental home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the perfect rental home in the New Bern area:

• Start by having your family decide on date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Amazing Views - OCEANFRONT 1\/2 Duplex! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
