How to find the best Havelock rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Havelock area. To get the best value, shift your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and 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 or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Havelock area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Great Stay & Located Middle Row! EI Bungalow One Minute Walk to Beach & Sound! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Havelock destination you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
