Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• In the Havelock area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summertime is high season in the Havelock area. Reserve your Havelock rental home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• To start, have your group select a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. August dates open 2nd row, 2 kitchens, ocean views, private pool & volleyball Ct has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
