Our top Atlantic Beach vacation rental tips:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• To get the largest rental within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply New Bern area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the bestrental:

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Captain’s Quarters - Private Beach Access! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
