Finding the best vacation property experience:

When to reserve a New Bern rental home & When to go:

• Summer is high season in the New Bern area. Reserve your vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local New Bern visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing the best rental home:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. The Exum Cottage - Beachfront in Atlantic Beach, NC has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
