Getting the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in Holden Beach. To book the largest rental within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the best rental home in Holden Beach:

• Start by having your family commit to the best dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. \"Hakuna Matata\" - Oceanfront Home, 2 Bedrooms \/ 2 Bathrooms has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
