Tricks and tips for getting the best rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in Emerald Isle. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your prefect New Bern rental home:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Hear and See the Sound of the Sea has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before booking your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 agreement! Extra fees or might be applied to your invoice.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
