Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the New Bern area. Booking your New Bern vacation rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting the best rental home in New Bern:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Pristine Cottage w\/ Access to the Trent River has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
