Tips for getting the best New Bern rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the New Bern area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local New Bern area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. DIRECT OCEANFRONT Duplex with large decks next to Oceanana Fishing Pier. has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If not, email or call the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• If there's a specific New Bern attraction you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
