Tricks and tips to get the perfect New Bern vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Morehead City area. Booking your Morehead City vacation home in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the perfect rental home in New Bern:

• To start, have your family choose dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Walkable to Downtown! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If not, email the host before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's an individual Morehead City beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
