Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Holden Beach. To book the largest rental home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your 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 gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your family choose vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Pet-Friendly Second Row House Steps to Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is right for your family.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
