Our top New Bern rental home booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer months are high season in the New Bern area. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and choosing a perfectvacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Cozy Bungalow by the Neuse River-\"The Hive House\" has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your family.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.

• At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
