Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Atlantic Beach vacation home experience:

When to visit Atlantic Beach & When to reserve a rental home:

• In the New Bern area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Atlantic Beach. To book the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your rental search:

• First, have your family choose trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. DIRECT OCEANFRONT Duplex with large deck next to Oceanana Fishing Pier. has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

More considerations:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct 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.
