Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Get the best rental home value:

• Book your New Bern vacation home in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanview, spacious, close to beach, pool, newly updated kitchen has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular New Bern beach you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
