How to get the best vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning and picking the right New Bern vacation home:

• Select dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. The Family Tides 2-Creekside living, 3BR, 2BA, dock has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
