Tips to get the very best New Bern vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. Book your rental in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitors guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Southern Tide at Sound of the Sea-Views, Poolside Relaxation, Steps to the Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what is suitable for your vacation.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
