Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the New Bern area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early.

Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.

• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.

• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.

• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
