Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the most suitable rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and choose the best New Bern rental home:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Oceanview, close to beach, pool, fire pit, dog friendly with no extra fee! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review.
