How to find the best New Bern vacation home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Book your New Bern vacation in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Oceanfront 8 bedroom\/sleeps 20 with large gathering and outdoor areas has 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain New Bern beach you simply love, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually 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 fishing?
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to inspire more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. 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 fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
