Strategies to get the perfect rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• To find the best value, try changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• In the Havelock area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the best vacation rental in the Havelock area:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Direct Oceanfront w\/ 2 Balconies, Pools & Sound Access w\/fishing and boat slips has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
