Tips to get the perfect Emerald Isle rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the most suitable rental within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at New Bern restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitor guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the perfect rental home in Emerald Isle:

• To start, have your family commit to dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Quaint and Affordable 3BR Beach Cottage - Near Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is optimal for your family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
