Tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

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

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfect Carolina Beach rental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Hobbs Realty - Enjoy true \"Southern Belle\" hospitality this oceanfront home with a private heated pool! has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what bed configuration is best for your family.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the rental manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss 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 comments.
