How to find the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is high season in the Havelock area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Oceanfront views galore, steps from beach and pool has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Havelock attraction you love, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
