Rental booking tips and tricks:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best value, try changing your family's New Bern vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through 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.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 15% off - Last minute deal! Oceanfront \"Great Expectations\" in beautiful EI! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular New Bern attraction you are enamored with, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean 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.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
