Rental home tips:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the New Bern area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Some owners offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and pick the right New Bern rental home:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Family friendly getaway, 4 min walk from beach, quiet Bluewater Bay area has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific New Bern destination you simply love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
