Tips to get the best Havelock vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Emerald Isle. Booking your Havelock vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Havelock visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Beautiful Emerald Isle Oceanfront 5 Bedroom Duplex: 'Changes In Attitudes' has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, contact the host before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.

Additional considerations:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review.
