Vacation rental home tips:

When to book a New Bern rental home & When to go:

• In the New Bern area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• To start, have your group select trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Oceanfront duplex with beautiful sunset views has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain New Bern destination you simply love, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
