Pet Agreement

We adore our dog and are pleased to allow you to bring yours, if he/she is
well behaved. Our preference is not to allow dogs on the furnishings. We recognize this can be a difficult request, so we offer a compromise. If you have a dog that is accustomed to getting on furnishings, please bring a protective blanket to
help protect the furnishings.

A booking with a pet agrees to the following:

I agree that my dog is up to date on all vaccinations and that he/she are on a flea/tick preventive.
I agree to provide my own dog bed and supplies.
I agree to pay a $200 fine if I leave my dog unattended and they cause a disturbance.
I agree to pay for additional cleaning, repair or replacement of any items damaged by my dog. The fear and separation anxiety experienced by many dogs left unattended can result in barking/howling and destruction of floor and door
frames. Please know your dog and do not leave him/her alone in the home, uncrated, if this is a possibility.

I agree to always pick up after my dog.
I agree to keep my dog on a leash always held by me or a responsible individual when outside—and I will remove the leash from my dog only while he/she is at the dog park, or within the confines of the home. I also agree to keep my dog close to me when other people/dogs are around

I understand this is a peaceful subdivision and I agree to prevent my dog from barking excessively or causing any other disturbance while staying at the property.

Tips to get the optimal New Bern vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in New Bern. Reserve your New Bern vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern 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 local stories, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Drake's Cove - Waterfront Oasis has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, call the host before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific New Bern destination you are enamored with, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
