Strategies for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your vacation in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the New Bern area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitors guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing the bestrental home:

• Select dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Cents and Cents-Ability -- Cozy Beach Getaway! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or might be applied to your contract.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
