How to get the best New Bern vacation property experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Summer is high season in the New Bern area. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply New Bern area travel guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Beautiful Emerald Isle Oceanfront 5 Bedroom Duplex: 'Changes In Attitudes' has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular New Bern destination you crave, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
