Our top New Bern rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in New Bern. To find the best value, change your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Pamlico area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. One Mile from Downtown! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
