Tips to get the best New Bern vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Summertime is high season in New Bern. To book the largest rental home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• In the New Bern area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Cozy Bungalow by the Neuse River-\"The Hive House\" has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. Otherwise, email the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
