Tricks and tips to get the best Pine Knoll Shores vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation home in Pine Knoll Shores:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Big Kahuna - Oceanfront (As seen on HGTV Beach Hunters) has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Havelock attraction you simply love, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or could be applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
