Tricks and tips to get the best vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summertime is high season in the Havelock area. Booking in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Havelock visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Emerald Isle Vacation Home: Walk to Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Havelock beach you simply love, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your invoice.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
