Finding the best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, try changing your family's New Bern vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, , and reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the perfect rental in New Bern:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Pristine Cottage w\/ Access to the Trent River has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before booking the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is right for your group.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a certain New Bern destination you love, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Advice for a great stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your visit, record any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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 wonderful time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
