Vacation rental tips:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your search:

• First, have your family select trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Peaceful 3BR\/2.5BA home, easy walk\/bike to beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular New Bern destination you are crazy about, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• During check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
