Strategies for getting the perfect Emerald Isle rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Summertime is high season in Emerald Isle. To get the best value, shift your family's New Bern vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the New Bern area, The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting and booking the rightrental home:

• To start, have your group choose dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Boho Sound-side Bungalow- Close to beach, sound, shopping, restaurants has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
