Will:
Five Star Airbnb with very responsive host!! Michael and his team were proactive checking in with me throughout our stay. For families with kids, this is best Airbnb in AB!!! House sits on end of street with no traffic so very safe for kids to be outside on bicycles, etc. Very safe neighborhood with friendly neighbors and only a row from beach. Highly recommended and plan to stay again soon bc my kids appreciated it so much!!!

Robbie:
Michael and his home were marvelous.
The location is a short walk to the beach and very nice. My family had an spectacular time in his handsome home. I was nervous as being a first timer using the air bnb platform. However, this home, the host and air bnb customer care went way about my greatest expectations. I would highly recommend this home and ‘I hawk as the host for anyone. We will definitely be using this home and this host again.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Havelock area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Sleeps 6 has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
