Finding the best value:

• In the Havelock area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early.

• Booking in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
