Tips to get the best Havelock vacation property experience:

When to book a Havelock rental & When to go:

• To get the best value, change your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Havelock area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the best vacation rental in the Havelock area:

• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is right for your group.
• If there's a certain Havelock destination you long to visit, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
