Tricks and tips to get the perfect Havelock vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To book the best rental within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Havelock attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Havelock area visitors guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation home in Beaufort:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Secluded waterfront home that is 5 min away from downtown Beaufort has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If not, call the host before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
