New Bern rental property booking tips:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Morehead City area. To book the best rental for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies supply Morehead City area visitor guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Morehead City visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the property manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.

• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.

If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
