Booking the best Emerald Isle vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are high season in the New Bern area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental:

• Choose your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Sea Fern Cottage - The Point @Emerald Isle for the Perfect Family Vacation has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you reserve your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain New Bern attraction you long to visit, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to stimulate new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
