Tips and Tricks for getting the best rental home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best rental within your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Havelock area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. A Gritty Palace. Gorgeous. Oceanfront. Pool and Hot Tub! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
