Rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• Booking your New Bern vacation home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing and booking the rightrental home:

• Choose dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Carolina Dune-Oceanfront Delight! Family & Pet Friendly, Amazing ocean views! has 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If not, contact the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific New Bern destination you long to visit, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
