Before you start to book " SEAS THE DAY at this beautifully updated condo with great view", review our brief checklist of issues to consider.

The Earlier, The Better

New Bern vacation rentals are reserved months (and up to a year) in advance. To guarantee the best choice of homes, we advise searching and booking your New Bern rental home 6-12 months in advance, whenever feasible. Holiday reunions can be a great time for families to plot their Summer family trips..

Find your Area and Determine Dates

Start by determining which specific area of New Bern you want to visit, and the choose trip dates.

Choose a Size

How many relatives are joining your trip? Keep in mind that most rentals advertise maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in the living room. You'll need to determine what is acceptable for the party. Most rental listings will describe each one of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattresses.

Commit to a Spending Limit

Make sure that " SEAS THE DAY at this beautifully updated condo with great view" fits your budget *during your desired dates*. If many groups or family members are sharing the cost, be certain that each group understands their obligation and has approved a maximum they are prepared to pay. One member of your group needs to be responsible for collecting contributions and agreeing to responsibility for the whole rental fee at time of reservation.

Compose a list of "Wishes" and "Requirements"

What amenities is your family searching for? Is a swimming pool reallynecessary?Do you want a vacation property with outdoor dining area? Do you wish to be far from the crowds, or near civilization? Will the home have bicycles and beach toys for use during your stay? Gather a list of "needs and desires" from your group to help narrow your search to the most suitable rental.

Accessability

Do members of your party have specialized needs? Make sure that you remember and ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and special equipment needs..

Have You Considered Furry Family Members?

Are you or other members of the crew visiting with a dog or cat? Pets are welcome at a number of rental properties, but guidelines can vary. A number of limitations might dismiss a prospective rental property. Read your contract thoroughly! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your contract.

Its Time to Search

A number of websites exist to match visitors with property owners..

Local companies will have an exclusive selection of rental homes daily and weekly.

Negotiate

Some rental owners will negotiate prices, and some will not. If the price isn't negotiable, the number of nights may be. The off-season offers your greatest chance to make a deal for a reduced rate.

During your Stay

• Photograph at your arrival. Take notes of any property damage immediately after you arrive. If you discover problems, or if fixes are needed contact the property manager without delay. This can protect against disagreements during checkout.
• Ask questions. When there's any ambiguity about vehicle parking, policies of the property, house access, swimming pool operation, etc... we suggest you ask the rental manager promptly. A brief phone call avoids many problems.
• Remember to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding residences are lived in by permanent locals. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking regulations can make a visit much more pleasant.
• Ask a local. Residents can frequently point you in the right direction.
• Enjoy your stay! Make sure to protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the vacation home locked up when you are away, exactly like you would at home.

Check Out Time

• Confirm that you've packed everything. Examine drawers, bath cupboards and closets.
• When everything is out, do a walk-through of the property to be certain no damage occurred in the course of your remain. If possible, do this walk-out assessment with the property manager present. If the property manager is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How do you rate your experience? Many property management companies and rental websites allow customers to provide feedback. If the vacation rental and/or property manager was top-notch, they will likely appreciate your positive reviews. If anything went wrong, we advise being pleasant but sincere regarding your rental experience. The best property owners and managers will try very hard to solve the issue.

Learn from your Stay

Hold a meeting with your traveling companions. Did they like the rental choice? If everything was fantastic, next year's vacation planning will be relatively easy. Maybe the rental home was not ideal, and you'll better recognize how to improve your search next time.
