Strategies for getting the best New Bern vacation property experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, , and reduced traffic.
• In the New Bern area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Pet Friendly, Ocean Front, ONE LEVEL! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If there's an individual New Bern attraction you crave, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
