Tips and Tricks to get the best New Bern vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• To book the best rental within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.

• In the New Bern area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early.

• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
