Holden Beach - Judge to be the best family beach in.
For a “laid-back” ambiance, Leatherman favors Holden Beach, N.C. (pop. 575). On a tiny barrier island, the town is primarily residential, and traffic and crime are minimal. “When I look at the family beaches, safety is a very big issue,” Leatherman says.
Additional rooms close by: Do you have a bigger group coming? There is a duplex directly across the street that sleeps 8 and it is also listed on Vacation Rental By Owner as property 220585. This is ideal for a family reunion or enormous gathering that needs additional space.

NORTH CAROLINA’S BEST BEACHES:
The best beaches in North Carolina are made better by the ideal vacation rental: a breezy beach home, modern condo, or classic bungalow, perhaps?
Here is additional information and suggestions for pets in our home.
Pet Safety- Keep plenty of fresh water available to them and encourage them to drink it often. Many dogs like to drink the salty ocean water, but it is not good for them.
 Protect your pup’s paw pads from the hot sand during the summer. It is best to walk in the early morning or late evening when the sand is cooler.
 The hottest time of day will be from noon to 4pm. It is a good idea to avoid having your pet in the sun during this time.
 Dehydration can happen much faster in the summer. When you are away from your vacation rental, be sure to pack water for your pet – about twice as much as they would normally drink.
 Pets with shorter or lighter-colored fur are prone to sunburn effortlessly, especially their nose and ears. If shade is not available, please consider bringing a sunscreen made for pets.
Tips & Tricks
 Be sure that your pet wears an ID collar complete with your cell phone number. If your pet’s collar has your home phone listed and you are on vacation, it will be difficult to contact you in the event he/she runs off.
 Rinse your pet with a hose or the vacation rental’s outdoor shower at the end of each day – sand and salt are just as uncomfortable for them as they are to you following a hot day.
 Be mindful of your pet overexerting him-/herself when playing in the sand or surf. Like kids, they don’t always stop.
Holden Beach does not allow dogs on the beach from May 20th to September 10th between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Dogs must be on a leash at all times on the island. Accepted on the beach September 11 to May 19th.

Our top Cape Fear area rental home booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Holden Beach House \/ Short 5 minute walk to Beach \/ Perfect Family Vacation Home has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before booking the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, record any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
