Pet Agreement

We appreciate our dog and are pleased to allow you to bring yours, if he/she is
well behaved. Our preference is not to allow dogs on the furnishings. We recognize this can be a difficult request, so we offer a compromise. If you have a dog that is accustomed to getting on furnishings, please bring a protective blanket to
help protect the furnishings.

I agree to provide my own dog bed and supplies.
I agree to pay a $200 fine if I leave my dog unattended and they cause a disturbance.
I agree to pay for additional cleaning, repair or replacement of any items damaged by my dog. The fear and separation anxiety experienced by many dogs left unattended can result in barking/howling and destruction of floor and door

I agree to always pick up after my dog.
I agree to keep my dog on a leash always held by me or a responsible individual when outside—and I will remove the leash from my dog only while he/she is at the dog park, or within the confines of the home. I also agree to keep my dog close to me when other people/dogs are around

Our top Rental property booking tips:

Money saving strategies:

• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Drake's Cove - Waterfront Oasis has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your visit, note any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
