Tips for getting the best New Bern rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Summer is the most expensive season in New Bern. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking yourvacation home:

• First, have your group commit to date ranges and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. The Sanderling Tiny Cabin Water Access\/Private Shared dock has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Crystal Coast vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. If not, contact the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. text the property manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
