Getting the best New Bern vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Beaufort, NC area. To find the best rental home within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitor guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing the bestrental:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Marina Vista Retreat has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

More considerations:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've 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 grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
