Start Your Search Early

Like many popular destinations, In New Bern the best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended, whenever possible. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years are excellent times to plan and book your rental..

Select your Town and Travel Week

Start by deciding which particular area of New Bern you'd like to visit, and the determine dates you'll be vacationing.

Selecting an Properly-Sized Rental property

Keep a list of attendees. How many beds and bedrooms will you be needing? Bear in mind that a lot of vacation rentals advertise maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in the living room space. It is important to determine what is most appropriate for the family. Precise descriptions of bedrooms and beds are commonly available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you book.

Decide on Your Budget

Make sure " SEAS THE DAY at this beautifully updated condo with great view" suits your price range *during your desired dates*. If several individuals or families are sharing the cost, check that each group knows their obligation and has approved a maximum they are willing to contribute. Most rental agreements call for a single person to be liable for the full reservation.

Let's Talk Amenities

What amenities is the group looking for? Is a screened porch a necessity? Do you wish to be far from the crowds, or close to a city setting? Are items like beach chairs, gas grills, beach umbrellas, carts or coolers available and included in your rental property charge? Make a list of "needs and wishes" from your group to help narrow your search to the most appropriate property.

Special Factors to consider

In some cases the senior generation has problems with stairways. Be sure to remember and ask about wheelchair access, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs..

Think About 4-Legged Family Members?

Are you or other members of the gang travelling with a four-legged friend? Pet policies are different at each rental. Study descriptions carefully. Study your agreement carefully! Extra fees may apply when pets are added.

Its Time to Search

Once the location, travel dates and family members are decided, search multiple sources for the greatest rental home selection. Besides Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we recommend searching Google for "New Bern local rental homes" for local rental management companies. Local agencies often times have a unique selection of rental properties daily and weekly.

Negotiate the Price

When you've spotted the rentalhome of your dreams, make sure your trip dates are available.

While not true for all rental homes, many owners and property managers will make a deal on rates. If they are hesitant to budge on a peak-season trip, try getting an additional night. Off-peak weeks will be negotiable more frequently than peak-season..

• Utilities

During your Stay

• Take pictures at your arrival. Take notes of any problems soon after you arrive. We also suggest immediately phoning the rental home manager with a report of any problems, together with your request for any needed repairs.
• When there is any ambiguity about vehicle parking, policies of the property, condo access, swimming pool functions, etc... we advise you ask the rental home manager immediately. A quick phone call avoids many complications.
• Remember to be a good neighbor. Residents most likely live within earshot. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking regulations can make a vacation substantially more relaxing.
• Ask a local. Residents are a terrific source of suggestions.
• Make sure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the vacation rental secured while you are away, just like you would in your own home.

Checking Out

• Double-check every space of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all possessions.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental home one final time and look for property damage. If you can, do this walk-out assessment with the property manager present. If the property owner is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you love your rental? Just about all vacation rental management companies and vacation rental websites make it easy for travellers to provide feedback. If your vacation rental and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your praise. If anything was disagreeable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or when the property was not as described, you may want to make it a point as part of your review.

Iterate

Hold a vacation recap meeting with your travel companions. Did everybody have a blast? Hopefully this guide steered you to a terrific rental unit. If not, you've gained valuable experience that will help with the next search.
