How to get the best New Bern rental home experience:

When to visit Atlantic Beach & When to book:

• Book your New Bern rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• In the New Bern area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning and choosing the perfect New Bern rental home:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Southwinds G16 (Ocean View) has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. Otherwise, email the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is best for your vacation.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Have a great stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
