Tricks and tips to get the best New Bern rental home experience:

Find your best deal:

• Summer months are high season in Emerald Isle. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the best vacation home in Emerald Isle:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Oceanfront 8 bedroom/sleeps 20 with large gathering and outdoor areas has 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
