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 sizable 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.

Strategies to get the perfect rental home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and picking your prefectrental:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oceanfront, Pool, Family Friendly and Fido Friendly has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
