High quality bath and kitchen towels are also supplied.

On rainy days, gather in the living room and appreciate a movie from our beach-themed DVD collection or stream your favorites on AppleTV with Netflix, Hulu, HBOMax, Disney Plus, or Peacock. A collection of board games, card games, and puzzles are also included. High speed Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the bungalow, and Apple HomePods makes high-quality music streaming a breeze.

Tricks and tips to get the optimal New Bern rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

Summer months are the most expensive season in the New Bern area. To book the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite New Bern restaurants and activities.
In the New Bern area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.

Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
