Tricks and tips to get the perfect Emerald Isle vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the New Bern area. To find the best rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular New Bern attractions.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking the bestvacation home:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Dune Castle East: Family Friendly Oceanfront Beach Duplex With Adjoining Door has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
