Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Get the best rental value:

• To find the most suitable rental home within budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular New Bern attractions and restaurants.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best vacation home in the New Bern area:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 4BR, Ocean Front, Dogs OK - One Level! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
