Tricks and tips to get the very best New Bern vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• To book the most suitable rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick the right New Bern vacation home:

• To start, have your group agree to vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Southern Tide at Sound of the Sea-Views, Poolside Relaxation, Steps to the Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean 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 you have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
