Our top New Bern vacation rental tips:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Crystal Coast area. Booking in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
Booking websites typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Narrow your Search:

First, have your family commit to dates and a spending budget.
Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Sunflower Smile has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Crystal Coast rentals search.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Have a wonderful stay:

Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known!
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
