Our top New Bern rental home tips:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• To book the largest rental for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular New Bern attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation 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 vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

• Select dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Historic District: Downtown New Bern has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is best for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific New Bern destination you love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
