Why Purchased: We purchased this home when our kids were young. We used the 2 bedroom downstairs ourselves and rented the 3 bedroom upper unit. Our kids grew up and had kids of their own. We'd outgrown our cozy 2 bedroom unit. We then put in a spiral staircase that connects the two units, so it can be used as one 5 bedroom home with two living areas and two kitchens during the peak summer season when huge combined families vacation together. We have a lock out door and insulation for the stairwell that we put in place during the spring and autumn. We've rented our lower unit and the upper unit simultaneously to unrelated events for many years now. We have no problems or complaints about this arrangement from our renters who choose our home. Offering both units for rent simultaneously accepts us to price very competitively. The Vacation Rental By Owner listing number for the 2 bedroom1 bath lower unit is 2003744. The Vacation Rental By Owner listing number for the whole home (5 bedroom 3 bath, 2 kitchens, 2 living areas) is 869594

ABOUT HOLDEN BEACH:

Welcome to Holden Beach, North Carolina, where family values and old fashioned fun are still a part of your vacation. Holden Beach has a very modest commercial area on the island. That point is considered by many to be a key reason to keep them coming back year after year. While there are limited commercial establishments on the island, everything one could want is located within a short driving distance.

The causeway leading to the island contains many specialty stores and stores, and the Town of Shallotte just 10 mins. away has multiple chain grocery and department stores that provide all the necessities. Wilmington and Myrtle Beach are only 35-45 mins. away and if you can't find what you're looking for there, it doesn't exist.

There are over 125 superb golf courses within a one-hour drive from Holden Beach. Courses range from very challenging to user-friendly for golfers who don't always hit the ball where they want it to go. The Myrtle Beach area is perhaps the best region in the United States to find a course just right. Seasonal prices vary.

Boating, fishing and hiking the island are very fashionable activities. Shell hunters can find so many that the kids will fill up the car when they return home. The island is a sea turtle habitat and during the hatching season (May to October) those who don't mind staying up late at nighttime can witness one of nature's most interesting pleasures – watching hundreds of modest sea turtles "boil' out of the sand and marching to the ocean.

There is no other North Carolina barrier island like Holden Beach. If you're looking for low commercial impact, and a wholesome family-aligned ambiance, you have come to the right place.

Getting the best rental home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• To find the best value, shift your family's Cape Fear area vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and choose your prefectrental:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Oceanfront, Pool, Family Friendly and Fido Friendly has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
