Tips to get the best Havelock rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Havelock area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

• First, have your group commit to the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Beautiful private beach house with access to sound has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If not, call the host before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
