Tricks and tips to get the optimal New Bern vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summertime is high season in Emerald Isle. Booking your New Bern vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Finding the best vacation home:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Bright & Emerald Isle Retreat: Steps to Beach! has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property management company before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain New Bern attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
