Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, 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 more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. 4BR Ocean Front - DOG OK - Close to town! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual New Bern beach you are enamored with, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually 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 on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
