Our top Vacation rental home tips:

Sticking to your budget:

• Summertime is high season in the New Bern area. Book your rental in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best rental home in the New Bern area:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Top Shelf - Sound-front, pool, golf cart, boat lift has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• If there's a particular New Bern destination you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Call the rental manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
