DESCRIPTION:
As you walk into the entryway you feel instantly at home. While both the formal dining area and living rooms are separate from the kitchen the space still feels open and inviting. The sky high ceilings of the living area offer beautiful light throughout the day while the decor helps keep the feeling comfortable. The kitchen offers upgraded appliances and all of the cookware needed to create your favorite meals. If you include the breakfast nook and dining table seats you will have enough for a group of 12 but there are also seats along the bar.

The primary bedroom is just off the living room and comfortably offers a king bed and private bathroom. The bedroom is filled with light and space and the theme continues into the stately bath… there is a soaking tub, standing shower and a double vanity. Through the bathroom you will find a door to the laundry room with a full sized washer and dryer. Privacy isn’t an issue as the laundry has access from the common area of the home as well.

Heading up the winding staircase to the open balcony type hall you will effortlessly find both of the other guest rooms both with Queen beds and private baths.

Down the stairwell from the kitchen area is where all of the fun can happen- there is another guest room with 2 twin beds and private bath as well as a recreation room with 2 twin/twin bunk beds. Also on this level you will be able to access the 2nd refrigerator, garage for the golf cart, and another entrance to the hot tub and grilling area.

The screened in and wrap around porches are purposely furnished with tables and rockers for guest use. They are all conveniently accessible through the many doors throughout the main level of the home. The parking is ample as you have access to a circle driveway as well as one behind the home.

All of your beds are made prior to arrival with newly laundered linens, including the comforters, and are supplied with a full week’s stay.
The location of this home is within the striking, private and gated community of Dolphin’s Ridge. The beach access is located at the split of Dolphin Ridge Road and Sandy Court which is where you will be able to leave your cart for a day at the beach. The walk to the beach is roughly less than a 5 min. walk as you are just around the corner from the access.

Strategies to get the best Havelock vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, try shifting your family's Havelock trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.

Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review.
