Our top New Bern rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your budget:

• To get the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite New Bern restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in Emerald Isle:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Bogue Sound Cottage with Boat Dock has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific New Bern attraction you are enamored with, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
