Our top Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best value:

• In the Havelock area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area travel guides that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. SINGLE Family Ocean Front - Howard's Hideaway has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Havelock attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Tips for your stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
