Strategies to get the best Emerald Isle vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Emerald Isle. To get the best value, shift your family's New Bern vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in the New Bern area:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Dune Castle West- Oceanfront Beach Cottage has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. If not, call the property management company before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a certain New Bern beach you long to visit, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
