How to book the best vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Stay Salty, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is best for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Havelock destination you long to visit, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home. 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 reasonably to solve it.
