Tricks and tips to get the best Havelock vacation home experience:

When to book a Havelock rental & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in Emerald Isle. To get the best rental within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Havelock restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Havelock visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and pick the rightvacation home:

• First, have your family decide on date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Updated Oceanfront Duplex in Ocean Oaks near the Point has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the property manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to stimulate future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
