Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in New Bern. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Pamlico area area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Pamlico area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose your prefectrental:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. LOVELY WATERFRONT TOWNHOUSE WITH DOCK, KAYAK & PADDLE BOARD has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about 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 feedback.
