Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

When to go & When to book:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Emerald Isle. Book your New Bern vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning and picking a perfect New Bern rental:

• Select dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Largest pool on The Point! Just steps to EI's widest beach. has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. Otherwise, email the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
