Tips to get the perfect Havelock vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Beaufort. Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitors guides which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, 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.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefectrental:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Fisherman's paradise, large covered porch, pet friendly, & close to Beaufort, NC has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Havelock destination you long to visit, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
