How to get the best New Bern rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Emerald Isle. Reserve your New Bern vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their 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 their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitors guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect vacation home in the New Bern area:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Surf Sounds Beach Retreat, Completely Renovated, Enter your Relaxation Zone. has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before booking your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
