Strategies for getting the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer time is high season in the New Bern area. Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Simple Blessings - Soundfront cottage with dock and boatlift - ask for discount has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. message the rental manager immediately to document 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, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
