Tips and Tricks to get the very best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Reserve your Havelock rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Havelock area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick the rightrental:

• Start by having your family select a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Steps to Ocean, New Construction, Fully loaded and Pet Friendly Home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or could be applied to your invoice.

More considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
