Our top Havelock rental home booking tips:

When to visit & When to book:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• To get the best vacation home within your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area travel guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Sea Fern Cottage - The Point @Emerald Isle for the Perfect Family Vacation has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your family.
• 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your contract.
• If there's a particular Havelock beach you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
