Strategies to get the best Pamlico area vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Summer is high season in New Bern. To find the best rental home within budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Pamlico area restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Pamlico area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Historic Heath House steps from the Neuse River has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Call the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
