About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 2 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Condo

This place is especially designed for the beach feels, and to really savor : a siesta for sure! Some of our favorite things are the patio for handsome sunrises and coffee time, the gorgeous vistas even inside the condo, the painless access (walk or bicycle) to EI stores and eateries, and of course, a very fast walk to the gorgeous beach! The pool is newly modernized with lounge chairs and tables/chairs on the deck. We've set up the condo to be comfortable and have some nice amenities, including plantation shutters, swivel bar stools, laundry/pantry right off the kitchen, well outfitted kitchen, keyless entry, and more.

The covered front entrance has room for all your beach gear (chairs, boards, beach toys). Bicycle racks are below on ground level. When you come into the condo, you'll have one queen bedroom and an attached full-sized bath with hall access. The kitchen has all your cooking and dining needs, including a 4-seater table and a bar with 3 swivel stools. Off the kitchen is the "lantry"--laundry/pantry room, with shelves, microwave, and full-size washer/dryer. The living room overlooks the ocean, and has a SMART TV with cable access. The 2nd bedroom is very cavernous, and includes 2 double beds, a chair and ottoman, and sizable mirrored dresser. This bedroom has a private attached full bathroom.
The patio provides striking ocean vistas with the polywood high top table and adirondack high top chairs.

This condo is in Queen's Court. It's not a high-rise (only 3 units tall), with elevators, and has 4 buildings. We are in the 2nd building (1 row back from ocean front), but the angle of the condos makes you have a very nearly oceanfront view and experience. The walk to the ocean is about 2 mins. from door to sand. The condo is well-kept and in a great community. Many of our neighbors live here full-time. There is not a lot of rental traffic through here, making for peaceful, calming hideaway.

Booking the best Havelock vacation home experience:

Getting the best value:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Havelock area. Reserve your Havelock vacation in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Ocean Views & Well-Equipped condo, in the Heart of Emerald Isle has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. If not, call the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges applied to your contract.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the property manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
