Booking the best Emerald Isle rental home experience:

Getting the best value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. To find the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular New Bern attractions.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply New Bern area visitors guides which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.

• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited.

• During check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean 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.
