Tips to get the perfect New Bern rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the New Bern area. To book the most suitable rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at New Bern restaurants, tours, and activities.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. Otherwise, email the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If there's a certain New Bern attraction you simply love, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.

• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.

Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
