Rental home booking tips:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, shift your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local New Bern visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect vacation home in the New Bern area:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Walk to beach! Emerald Isle beach home with cozy vibe and room for the family. has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If not, email or call the host before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific New Bern beach you love, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, 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 it a point as part of your review.
