Our top Pamlico area rental home booking tips:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in New Bern. Book your Pamlico area rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Pamlico area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Walkable to Downtown! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you book the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Pamlico area attraction you simply love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the rental manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
