How to book the best vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Summer time is high season in Emerald Isle. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• In the New Bern area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Filter your search:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. VIP Beach Access, 3 BR House w/Linens, Yard, Screened Porch, & No Stairs has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a particular New Bern destination you love, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few issues.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
