Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the New Bern area. Booking your New Bern vacation rental in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the New Bern area, The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitor guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the best rental home in the New Bern area:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Renovated Cottage with Private Free Oceanfront Parking and Outdoor Shower has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
