Tricks and tips to get the optimal Havelock vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• In the Havelock area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summer months are high season in Emerald Isle. Book your Havelock rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Shell Cottage, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the property manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
