Tips to get the best New Bern rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Emerald Isle rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is an excellent way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefect New Bern rental:

• Start by having your group choose dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Happy Place! Golf Cart Included! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If not, email or call the property management company before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a specific New Bern beach you crave, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
