Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your New Bern vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning and picking the best New Bern rental:

• First, have your group decide on trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Beautiful Bogue Shores 1st Floor Studio with Beach & Sound Access has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or applied to your contract.
• If there's a specific New Bern destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

During your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
