Booking the best Emerald Isle vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. To book the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Havelock restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If not, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
