Getting the best New Bern rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a New Bern rental home:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. To book the best rental within budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Filter your search:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Family cottage located in the heart of Emerald Isle, 3-5 minute walk to beach! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your group.
• If there's a particular New Bern destination you simply love, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or applied to your agreement.

Additional considerations:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
