Tips and Tricks for getting the best New Bern rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in New Bern. Reserve your New Bern rental in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Waterfront Home in New Bern Gated Community has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss 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 comments.
