Tricks and tips to get the perfect Havelock vacation home experience:

When to reserve a Havelock rental home & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose the best rental in Emerald Isle:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Beautiful Emerald Isle Ocean Side Home, Steps from the Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If not, contact the property owner before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Havelock attraction you long to visit, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
