Rental home tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to reserve a Holden Beach rental home:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestvacation home:

• First, have your family agree to the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Oceanfront home with private pool, ocean views, outdoor shower, & beach access has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, email the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, 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.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to drive future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
