Rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

In the New Bern area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
Many rental management companies supply New Bern area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestrental:

Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a max budget.
Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Oceanfront stunner in Emerald Isle has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
Is your group looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of issues.
Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
To make sure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address 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.
