Tips to get the perfect New Bern rental home experience:

Get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Book your vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply New Bern area travel guide magazines which will 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 grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. 3BR Cottage - short walk to the beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If not, email the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• During check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order 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.
