Strategies to get the best Havelock vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• In the Havelock area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Book your vacation in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Havelock area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Sound of the Sea 516W - 3BR Condo has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
