Our top New Bern rental booking tips:

When to visit Atlantic Beach & When to book:

• Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies supply New Bern area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking the right New Bern vacation home:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Highsmith Cottage (Oceanfront Home) has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's a certain New Bern beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the property manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
