Tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, try shifting your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days 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 overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Great Stay & Located Middle Row! EI Bungalow One Minute Walk to Beach & Sound! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is optimal for your vacation.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular New Bern beach you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
