Booking the best Holden Beach rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.

You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Under 5-min Walk to the Waves has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the host before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area attraction you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
