How to find the best Emerald Isle vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Havelock area. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Havelock vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Havelock area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best rental home in Emerald Isle:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Sound of the Sea 303W - 1BR Ocean Front - Just Renovated!! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
