Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. To get the most suitable vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Havelock restaurants and activities.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental in the Havelock area:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Whaley Good Livin’ has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, call the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Havelock beach you simply love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.

During your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. text the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
