Tips and Tricks for getting the best New Bern vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the New Bern area. Booking in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and pick the perfect New Bern rental home:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. The Exum Cottage - Beachfront in Atlantic Beach, NC has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the host before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a specific New Bern attraction you are crazy about, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Call the host immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
