Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Atlantic Beach vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• In the New Bern area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose and book the best New Bern rental:

• Choose dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Southwinds F17 3rd Floor Direct Oceanfront has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
