Tricks and tips for getting the best Atlantic Beach rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• To find the best value, try changing your family's Havelock vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. 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 loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking your Havelock vacation home:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Saltbox-Pet Friendly\/Oceanside Home has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a specific Havelock beach you crave, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
