Rental home tips and tricks:

When to visit Emerald Isle & When to reserve a rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Selecting the best vacation rental in the New Bern area:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Oceanfront, Dog Friendly, near the Point, beach & kids' gear, fun decor. has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. Otherwise, email or call the host before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific New Bern beach you simply love, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
