New Bern rental home booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property 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.

Planning and picking your New Bern rental home:

• First, have your family decide on a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Central Historic Beaufort Home: Walk to Waterfront has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's an individual New Bern attraction you love, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please 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.
