Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect New Bern rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the New Bern area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick the best New Bern rental home:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront stunner in Emerald Isle has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular New Bern beach you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
