Tricks and tips to get the best Emerald Isle vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Emerald Isle. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Havelock visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Choosing the best rental in the Havelock area:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Oceanfront 8 bedroom\/sleeps 20 with large gathering and outdoor areas has 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before booking the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of problems.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. 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 great vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
