How to get the best rental value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.

• In the Havelock area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early.
