Tricks and tips for getting the best Havelock vacation property experience:

Finding your best deal:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Reserve your Havelock rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best rental:

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. A private, wooded home in Emerald Isle, NC, 5th row from the beach (5 min walk) has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Have a great stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
