Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• To get the largest rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Havelock area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose and book your prefect Havelock rental home:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanfront 5BR w\/ Private Pool, Deck & Beach Access has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a certain Havelock beach you crave, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
