Tips to get the best Emerald Isle vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Havelock area. To find the most suitable rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Havelock restaurants and activities.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitor guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose the right Havelock vacation home:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. “A Swell Life” 3 Bed\/3 Bath, Oceanfront Condo, Unit 1105 Queens Court has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Havelock attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
