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

When to visit Atlantic Beach & When to book:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guides which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the perfect vacation home in the New Bern area:

• Begin by choosing vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. The Sandy Turtle: Spacious 3-Story 3BR 3BA Condo steps from the Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or might be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from 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 great vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
