How to book the best Havelock vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are high season in Beaufort. To book the best rental home within your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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 your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfect Havelock rental:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to date ranges and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Solar Home \"Nimbus Novem\" At Beaucoast has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Havelock destination you crave, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Advice for a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
