Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Holden Beach. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Finding the perfect vacation rental in Holden Beach:

• Start by having your group commit to dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. FUN BEACH GETAWAY! Beach Access Across the Street \/ Fully Equipped Kitchen has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is right for your family.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
