Tricks and tips for getting the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• In the New Bern area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking your New Bern vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the best vacation rental in the New Bern area:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Whaley Good Livin’ has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, contact the host before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is right for your group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean 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 family have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
