Tips to get the perfect New Bern vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Summer time is high season in the New Bern area. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's New Bern trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Largest pool on The Point! Just steps to EI's widest beach. has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If they are not listed, call the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. text the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to compel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
