Emerald Isle vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to reserve a New Bern rental & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the New Bern area. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies supply New Bern area visitors guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First, have your family select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Charming 5-bedroom oceanfront duplex with wonderful views has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
