Tips and Tricks for getting the best Emerald Isle rental home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the largest rental for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Havelock restaurants and activities.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental in the Havelock area:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. \"SweetWater\" ~ 1302 Queens Court ~ 1Bd\/1Ba Top Floor Oceanfront Condo ~ Elevator has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. If not, email the host before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Havelock destination you are enamored with, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
