Tricks and tips for getting the best New Bern rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and choosing the best New Bern vacation home:

• First and foremost, have your group agree to dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. New Bern Home w\/ Water View ~ 6 Mi to Downtown! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. message the host right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
