Tips for getting the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• In the New Bern area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Atlantic Beach. To book the best rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at New Bern restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is right for your group.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.

If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it.
