Tips to get the best rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. Book your rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many property management companies supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best rental in Emerald Isle:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Hot TUB & Pet Friendly, Ocean Front, Covered Decks! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's an individual New Bern beach you are enamored with, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
