Tips and Tricks to get the perfect New Bern rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the largest vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the perfect vacation home:

• First and foremost, have your family select vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Bonnie Banks, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. Otherwise, call the property owner before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular New Bern beach you crave, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or could be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
