Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking the perfect New Bern vacation home:

• To start, have your group decide on trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Holy Mackerel -Gorgeous, large home -Ocean view & Sound view -Great for families has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Tips for a great stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
