How to book the best New Bern rental experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Finding the best rental home in the New Bern area:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. River's Edge has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
