Tips and Tricks to get the very best vacation home experience:

When to book a New Bern rental home & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in the New Bern area. To book the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular New Bern attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 your favorite beach.
• Reserve 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 vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing the perfect rental in Emerald Isle:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Flip Flop Inn, Almost Oceanfront Duplex in Emerald Isle, NC! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. Otherwise, call the host before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your family.
• If there's a certain New Bern beach you simply love, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the host right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
