Our top Emerald Isle vacation rental tips:

Find your best deal:

• In the New Bern area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Booking your New Bern vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your prefect New Bern rental:

• To start, have your family commit to the best dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Oceanview with elevator, private pool, golf cart, in Dolphin Ridge community has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's an individual New Bern attraction you are enamored with, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your visit, note any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
