Cost saving strategies:

In the New Bern area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
Property managers frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection.

Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
