Our top New Bern rental property booking tips and tricks:

Find your perfect rental:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer time is high season in the New Bern area. Booking in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitor guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the perfect vacation home in Emerald Isle:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Relax, Play, Enjoy at OFFSHORE BLUE - Sound Front Home 4 BR 2 Bath has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, email the property owner before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is right for your family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain New Bern attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas during check in. Speak to the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
