Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Havelock area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitor guide magazines which will include special offers, 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 grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Cosgrove's Cove has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If not, reach out to the property owner before you book your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.

• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
