Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

When to reserve a New Bern rental home & When to go:

• In the New Bern area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer is high season in the New Bern area. To find the best value, try changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

How to choose and book yourvacation home:

• To start, have your family agree to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. The Heart of Emerald Isle has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If not, call the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
