Strategies for getting the best vacation property experience:

Finding your best deal:

Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Summer time is high season in the Havelock area. Reserve your Havelock rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
Property managers usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

First and foremost, have your group select date ranges and a spending budget.
Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. The Gathering Place - 1 Block from Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
Traveling with pets? 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 agreement! Pet fees or might be applied to your agreement.
Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of problems.
Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
