Booking the best Emerald Isle vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the New Bern area. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Choosing and booking the rightrental:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Beautiful private beach house with access to sound has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain New Bern attraction you crave, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

During your stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss 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 comments.
