Tips and Tricks for getting the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• In the New Bern area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Pine Knoll Shores. To get the best value, shift your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

How to select the perfect rental:

• To start, have your family commit to a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Retrouvaille = Oceanfront Beauty! Single Family Home on NC Southern Outer Banks. has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before booking the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish which bed configuration is best for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual New Bern destination you are crazy about, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• To make certain no damages are linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas during arrival. Call the host immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
