Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the New Bern area. To book the largest vacation home within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday 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 group qualifies for a special rate.
Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation home in Emerald Isle:

First and foremost, have your family commit to dates and a max budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Emerald Isle, oceanfront, 7 BR, pool & hot tub, pet Friendly has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the host before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
At Check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
