Tips and Tricks to get the perfect New Bern rental home experience:

When to book a New Bern rental home & When to go:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in Beaufort. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies supply New Bern area travel guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose and book the rightrental home:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Charming Retreat w/ Water View, Walk to Downtown has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• 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 call prevents many concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
