Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply New Bern area travel guides which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Emerald Isle Oceanfront Home with Private Pool and Dog-friendly! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular New Bern destination you crave, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback 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 expeditiously to remedy it.
