How to book the best New Bern vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in New Bern. To find the best value, try shifting your family's New Bern vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. River's Edge has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a specific New Bern destination you crave, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Call the host immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
