Strategies to get the optimal New Bern vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Shell Seekers, Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is optimal for your family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Know before you go:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it.
