Tips to get the very best vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• To find the largest rental within your budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best vacation home:

• First, have your group choose date ranges and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Holden Beach House w\/ Boat Dock: Steps to Beach! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
