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

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• To find the largest rental home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Double Up in Downtown New Bern! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before booking the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
