How to find the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• In the Havelock area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• To find the best value, try changing your family's Havelock vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the best rental home:

• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Cents and Cents-Ability -- Cozy Beach Getaway! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation group.

• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect your property!

• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
