Strategies to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular New Bern attractions.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Ocean view family cottage, just steps from the sea and close to everything. has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Have a great stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean 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.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
