Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

When to go & When to book:

• In the New Bern area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Book your vacation in 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 rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies supply New Bern area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick the bestvacation home:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Emerald Isle Condo w\/ Direct Access to Ocean! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific New Bern destination you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
