Strategies for getting the perfect New Bern rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the most suitable rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the New Bern area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect rental home in the New Bern area:

• First and foremost, have your family select vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Temple Cottage - Dog Friendly - Walk to downtown has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's an individual New Bern destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
