Strategies to get the optimal rental experience:

Finding your best deal:

• In the Havelock area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summertime is high season in Emerald Isle. To book the largest rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Havelock restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect rental home in the Havelock area:

• Start by having your family choose date ranges and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Beautiful and private Oceanfront Cottage has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Havelock beach you simply love, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
