Tips and Tricks to get the best Emerald Isle rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in Emerald Isle:

• Select dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Family & Pet Friendly Retreat has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular New Bern attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to stimulate new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
