Tricks and tips to get the best rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your family commit to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. SINGLE Family Ocean Front - Howard's Hideaway has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• During check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
