Finding the best Emerald Isle vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Emerald Isle. To find the largest rental for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Bright & Emerald Isle Retreat: Steps to Beach! has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• If there's a particular New Bern attraction you crave, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• 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 enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
