Strategies for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

When to go & When to book:

• To get the best value, try changing your family's Havelock vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to select the best rental in Emerald Isle:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Flip Flop Inn, Almost Oceanfront Duplex in Emerald Isle, NC! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If there's an individual Havelock destination you are crazy about, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
