Tips to get the best Havelock vacation home experience:

When to reserve a Havelock rental home & When to go:

• In the Havelock area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are high season in Emerald Isle. Book your Havelock vacation in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and choose the best Havelock rental home:

• To start, have your family decide on dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Beautiful Emerald Isle Oceanfront 5 Bedroom Duplex: 'Changes in Latitudes' has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific Havelock destination you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
