Tips to Save Money on your Rental

• Many property managers and vacation rental houses provide New Bern area promotional travel guides which include deals, either offered individually by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the merchant itself. Be on the lookout for these guides and coupon books, since this allows visitors to discover the same fantastic activities at a possibly significantly discounted.
• Just want to avoid the packed areas and save cash? Off-season rates are usually a fraction of maximum pricing.
• Active Duty and veterans of the U.S. Military may qualify for promotions. Be sure to check with property manager to see if your visiting group is eligible for a reduced price.
• Is there a certain activity you are mainly longing for ? You should prioritize your proximity to the outdoor activities and landmarks you are most interested in.
• Property management companies and individual home owners often offer guests the opportunity to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the basic vacation rental price, provides visitors reimbursement of their travel expenses for any missed due to medical related emergencies or storms, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or expenses, like an unplanned hotel room stay or extra gas. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforseen occurs .

The Rental Process

Newcomers are likely to be shocked at the range and variety of weekly rentals available in the New Bern area. Vacation home accommodations have gained in popularity with the rise of worldwide research sites like Homeaway and VRBO.

Virtually all vacation rentals in New Bern are privately operated and many are represented by experienced local property management companies. Vacation rental management companies leverage scale, staff and experience to provide painless operational management on behalf of the property owner..

Here are some tips and tactics to help you navigate the rental search and booking process.

Where to find and reserve the right rental home:

Before you book " Beaufort Kite House - Front Street 7 Bedroom Home ", review our short list of issues to consider.

The Earlier You Begin, The Better The Selection

Like many desirable hot spots, In New Bern the best rental properties are booked very early. To find the best selection, begin your planning and search 6-12 months before your trip. Holiday reunions are a great time for family groups to plot their Summer trips..

Find your Spot and Establish Dates

Sometimes, the most challenging part of organizing your vacation is deciding on where to go, and when. When the big decisions are tackled, the rest is simplier and easier.

Just How Many Beds?

Keep a list of attendees. How many beds and bedrooms will you be needing? Be aware that many rental homes list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in the living area. You'll need to determine what is acceptable for your group. Generally rental listings will outline each one of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattresses.

Stick to a Budget

Confirm that " Beaufort Kite House - Front Street 7 Bedroom Home " satisfies your budget *during your desired dates*. If multiple individuals or relatives are sharing the cost, check that each group knows their obligations and has approved a maximum they are willing to contribute. Most rental documents require a single person to be in charge of the full reservation.

Compose a list of "Wishes" and "Requirements"

What amenities is the group looking for? Do you only desire a home with a pool, spa tub or volleyball court? Are you more interested in a natural landscape or amusements? Will the rental have bicycles and body boards available during your stay? Gather a list of "necessities and preferences" from your party to help filter your search to the most suitable rental.

Accessibility and Special Considerations

Do a few people in your group have specialized needs? If wheel chair access, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized equipment is needed, include that into your search. Almost all vacation rental postings will include a list of amenities.

Paws-Friendly, Please

Remember to include your pets. While quite a few rental homes allow dogs and cats, guidelines and costs fluctuate per property. Make certain you read descriptions and contracts carefully. Service fees may apply when pets are included. Ask questions *before* you reserve!

Its Time to Search

Many websites exist to match clients with rental owners.. In combination with Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we suggest searching Google for "New Bern local vacation homes" for local vacation rental management companies. In addition to having exclusive properties, local agencies provide outstanding service..

Negotiate

When you've found the rentalhome of your dreams, make sure your travel dates are available.

Some property owners will negotiate rates, and some won't. If they are unwilling to budge on a peak-season week, try getting an extra night. Off-peak weeks should be negotiable more often than peak-season..

Study the Total Agreement

Learn which of the following is included in your quoted rate:

• Electric bills
• Internet Connectivity
• Phone service
• Pool Heating
• Cable and pay-per-view TV
• Cleaning Service
• Trash collection
• Maintenance policies
• Key exchange
• Parking Fees

Get a total that includes state taxes, pet and other additional fees.

Cancellations Happen

Cancellation policies are different for each rental. Many rental home contracts include an option for trip insurance. Trip insurance defends the renter against emergency situations and weather events, It gives reassurance should tragedy strike.

Book It

After you believe you've identified "the one", begin the booking process. You will probably need to submit a security deposit at time of booking.

Keep Your Contact's Info

Make sure that you get the manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your vacation property. We recommend saving the contact's information in your phone and wallet.

Congrats! All that is left is enjoying your vacation!

During your Stay

• Photograph on your arrival. Take notes of any wear and tear immediately after you arrive. Contact the property manager immediately to report your observations. If there is a difference of opinion about responsibility later, having the documented problems and communication attempts will be very helpful.
• You could need guidance for a fireplace, Television or spa. Get in touch with your rental manager. They are there to help. A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Please remember to respect your nearby neighbors. . Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your residence.
• Ask a local. Natives are a terrific source of tips. Who better to ask where to get the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best places for wildlife?
• Enjoy your stay! Make sure to protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental home secured while you are away, exactly like you would in your own home.

Leaving Paradise

• Always make sure that you've packed everything. Inspect drawers, bath cabinets and cabinets.
• As soon as everything is out, do a walk-through of the property to make sure no damage occurred in the course of your stay. We recommend walking through with the rental manager whenever you can (this may not be possible).. If the property owner is not available, make certain to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you love your vacation? Many vacation rental management companies and rental home sites permit customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was excellent, they'll appreciate your positive reviews. If something went wrong and they failed to fix it in a acceptable manner, or if the rental was not as described, you should make it a point in your review.
