Strategies for getting the perfect New Bern vacation property experience:

Find your best deal:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the New Bern area. To get the best rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular New Bern attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental in Emerald Isle:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Simple Blessings - Soundfront cottage with dock and boatlift - ask for discount has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If not, email the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is right for your group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review 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 expeditiously to solve it.
