Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• 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 family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking a perfect New Bern rental home:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. SINGLE Family Ocean Front - Howard's Hideaway has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular New Bern destination you love, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More tips for your visit:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean 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.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
