Strategies for getting the best Emerald Isle vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• To get the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• In the New Bern area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing the bestrental home:

• First, have your family decide on the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Family Beach House Ready for Water Fun! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular New Bern attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the rental manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
