Tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Atlantic Beach. To get the largest vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• 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 family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Havelock area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Ocean Front Home in Atlantic Beach-Taylor Cottage has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
