Tips to get the very best Havelock rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your Havelock rental property in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the perfect rental in Atlantic Beach:

• Start by having your family agree to date ranges and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 1-Minute Walk to Beach, Half Duplex, Bright & New! has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
