Rental property booking tips:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Summertime is high season in New Bern. To book the most suitable rental home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular New Bern attractions.
• In the New Bern area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Riverside Retreat - 1940s Coastal Bungalow in New Bern, NC has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a certain New Bern attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Call the property manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. 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.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
