Tips to get the optimal New Bern vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the New Bern area. Book your New Bern rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Sound Front Home-Sunset Bay Retreat in Harkers Island has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual New Bern attraction you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
