Strategies to get the very best rental home experience:

Get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your New Bern vacation rental in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. 'West of the Moon' Ocean Apt w\/ Beach Access! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a certain New Bern attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

During your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
