BBQ instructions

I hope you are as excited about this BBQ as I am. If you just need to prepare some hotdogs and hamburgers, use the gas grille on the right side. But if you are true Grille master,
Please appreciate the smoky flavor of the wood pellet grille on the left.
Please be a responsible griller and clean the grille when you’re finished.
We keep a bin of wood pellets in the play room. If the bin is empty you can purchase more pellets at Lowes or Walmart.
I have attached the instructions. Please read thru to familiarize yourself with the grille.

Strategies to get the best New Bern vacation property experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Summertime is high season in New Bern. Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Little piece of heaven in your own back yard! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's a certain Crystal Coast destination you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
