Tips for getting the best vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips 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 reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests 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 issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect vacation home in Emerald Isle:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Beautiful Emerald Isle Oceanfront 5 Bedroom Duplex: 'Changes in Latitudes' has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's an individual Havelock beach you are enamored with, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

During your stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
