Holden Beach vacation rental tips:

How to get the best value:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose and book yourrental home:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Babington Ocean Front Beach Home with Pool--heated pool optional-- has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If not, call the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach attraction you long to visit, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
