Tricks and tips to get the best rental home experience:

Get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Book your New Bern rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with 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.

Choosing and booking yourrental home:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Buoy Oh Buoy! Cheerful family beach cottage just a block from the Ocean & Sound! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. message the host immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
