Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Emerald Isle. To get the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at New Bern restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the perfect vacation home in the New Bern area:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Unique Octagonal-Style Beach Home with Pool Kid + Dog Friendly! has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
