Strategies to get the optimal rental home experience:

When to visit Emerald Isle & When to reserve a New Bern rental home:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular New Bern attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Beautiful oceanfront beach on the number one beach in North Carolina! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If they are not listed, email the host before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is best for your trip.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
