New Bern rental home booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in New Bern. Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfect Crystal Coast vacation home:

• Choose dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. The Sanderling Tiny Cabin Water Access\/Private Shared dock has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the host before you book the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. text the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
