Tips to get the optimal New Bern vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Summer time is high season in the New Bern area. To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply New Bern area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Beautiful cottage w/ocean views - steps away from the beach! Dog Friendly! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If not, contact the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your family.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
