Tips for getting the best New Bern rental home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a New Bern rental home:

• To get the best value, try changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose the perfect rental home in the Crystal Coast area:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Sunflower Smile has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
