Not feeling the beach today? Hang out at the pool in the backyard instead while something delicious cooks on the poolside grille, or read your favorite book in the sunroom overlooking the Sound. No need to disagree on what to watch, there are 8 Roku HDTVs and complimentary high-speed WiFi (even at the pool!), just log in to your favorite streaming app and go. In the media room, where you’ll find the pull-out couch, the TV has 60 FPS for you gamers. It looks like a long way to the top floor, but that’s what the elevator is for.

Booking the best Emerald Isle vacation rental experience:

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

• Summer time is high season in Emerald Isle. To get the best rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at New Bern restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing the best rental in the New Bern area:

• Start by having your family select dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Sunsets on the Sound and Poolside Luxury at the Jewel of Emerald Isle! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• 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 entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
