Tips and Tricks to get the best Havelock vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, shift your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Havelock visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Choosing the best vacation home:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Beautiful and private Oceanfront Cottage has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a certain Havelock attraction you love, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. 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.
