Strategies to get the perfect Havelock vacation home experience:

Get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, management companies supply Havelock area visitor guides which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose vacation week and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. “Spivey’s Korner” Ocean Views, Easy Steps to quiet sandy Beach - secure WiFi has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Havelock beach you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
