How to book the best New Bern rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• In the New Bern area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefect New Bern rental:

• First, have your group commit to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Dune Castle West- Oceanfront Beach Cottage has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is right for your group.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments.
