Tricks and tips to get the best New Bern vacation property experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early.

Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself.
