How to find the best New Bern rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your New Bern 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 find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking the rightrental home:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oceanfront 8 bedroom\/sleeps 20 with large gathering and outdoor areas has 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific New Bern destination you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Advice for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
