Tips to get the optimal Havelock vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Havelock area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to pick the best rental:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Family & Pet Friendly Retreat has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, email the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
