Vacation rental booking tips:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the New Bern area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in the New Bern area. To find the best value, change your family's New Bern vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. 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? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First, have your group select the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Charming Retreat w/ Water View, Walk to Downtown has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Call the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
