Our top Rental home booking tips:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Pine Knoll Shores. To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply New Bern area travel guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best rental home in the New Bern area:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Pine Knoll Shores Canal, NC Comfortable Beach Get-Away has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's an individual New Bern attraction you long to visit, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
