Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect New Bern vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Indian Beach. Booking your New Bern vacation rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental in the New Bern area:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Single family home, but space for 2 families or multigenerational stays! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Have a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon check in. Call the property manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
