Rental home tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your New Bern vacation home in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Beautiful Emerald Isle Oceanfront 5 Bedroom Duplex: 'Changes In Attitudes' has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the vacation home.

• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your agreement.

• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to inspire future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review.
