Strategies to get the perfect rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the New Bern area. Book your New Bern rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain New Bern attraction you simply love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
