Tricks and tips to get the perfect Havelock rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the largest rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Havelock restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Havelock visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the best vacation home in Emerald Isle:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Great Expectations in beautiful EI: 20% discount for weekly booking until May! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
