How to find the best vacation property experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Holden Beach. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation rental in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.

• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.

If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Tips for a great stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. text the property manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.

• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback.
