Strategies for getting the perfect Emerald Isle vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To get the best value, consider changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. 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 loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the rightrental:

• Start by having your family decide on a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Amazing Views - OCEANFRONT 1\/2 Duplex! 25% discount remaining June 2024 weeks has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
