Tips for getting the perfect rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. To book the most suitable rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Havelock restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Havelock visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Emerald Isle Escape: Walk to Ocean has 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is right for your group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
