Strategies to get the very best rental experience:

When to visit Holden Beach & When to book:

• To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Cape Fear area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfect Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Hobbs Realty - Enjoy true \"Southern Belle\" hospitality this oceanfront home with a private heated pool! has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges applied to your invoice.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently 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 fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
