Tips and Tricks for getting the best Emerald Isle rental home experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your rental in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Well maintained 4 bed/4 bath house in quiet area - linens & bath towels included has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your family.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. message the property manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
