Will:
Five Star Airbnb with very responsive host!! Michael and his team were proactive checking in with me throughout our stay. For families with kids, this is best Airbnb in AB!!! House sits on end of street with no traffic so very safe for kids to be outside on bicycles, etc. Very safe neighborhood with friendly neighbors and only a row from beach. Highly recommended and plan to stay again soon bc my kids appreciated it so much!!!

Michael and his home were impressive.
The location is a short walk to the beach and very nice. My family had an extraordinary time in his handsome home. I was nervous as being a first timer using the air bnb platform. However, this home, the host and air bnb customer care went way about my greatest expectations. I would highly recommend this home and ‘I hawk as the host for anyone. We will definitely be using this home and this host again.

Strategies to get the perfect Atlantic Beach rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Booking your New Bern vacation rental in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the New Bern area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.

If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
