Strategies to get the perfect New Bern rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the New Bern area. To find the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book the best New Bern vacation home:

Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 2nd Row Oceanview, private pool, elevator, easy beach access. has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your trip.
Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
Upon arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
