Booking the best Havelock vacation home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Havelock vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Havelock area visitor guides which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best vacation home:

• Begin by selecting trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. SPACIOUS & PRIVATE PET FRIENDLY WATERFRONT HOME NEAR DOWNTOWN HISTORIC BEAUFORT has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Havelock destination you long to visit, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
