Emerald Isle rental property booking tips:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, change your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, 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 visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfectrental:

• To start, have your group commit to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Blue Crab Retreat, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If not, contact the property manager before reserving your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a specific New Bern attraction you are enamored with, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Advice for a great stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Call the rental manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
