Finding the best New Bern rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• June, July, and August are high season in the New Bern area. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply New Bern area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect rental home:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Highsmith Cottage (Oceanfront Home) has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your family.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or may be applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the property manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
