Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Emerald Isle. Booking your New Bern vacation rental in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply New Bern area travel guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect rental in the New Bern area:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to the best dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Family cottage located in the heart of Emerald Isle, 3-5 minute walk to beach! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a certain New Bern beach you simply love, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
