Vacation rental tips:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Emerald Isle. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Choosing and booking the best New Bern rental:

• Start by having your family commit to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Welcome to Xanadu East, your home away from home! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
