Rental home tips:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Summer time is high season in Emerald Isle. To get the best value, consider changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
