Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Havelock rental home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Havelock rental home:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the most suitable rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Havelock attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Some property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Havelock visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Down East cottage with views of Ward Creek has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is right for your group.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
