Tips to get the optimal New Bern vacation rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your New Bern vacation in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best rental home in the New Bern area:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Shady Shack West a 3 BR Oceanfront Duplex with Unobstructed Ocean Views has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you book your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
