Holden Beach - Judge to be the best family beach in 2015.
For a “laid-back” ambiance, Leatherman favors Holden Beach, N.C. (pop. 575). On a tiny barrier island, the town is primarily residential, and traffic and crime are minimal. “When I look at the family beaches, safety is a very big issue,” Leatherman says.

NORTH CAROLINA’S BEST BEACHES:
The best beaches in North Carolina are made better by the ideal vacation rental: a breezy beach home, modern condo, or classic bungalow, perhaps?
Here is additional information and suggestions for pets in our home.
Pet Safety- Keep plenty of fresh water available to them and encourage them to drink it often. Many dogs like to drink the salty ocean water, but it is not good for them.
 Protect your pup’s paw pads from the hot sand during the summer. It is best to walk in the early morning or late evening when the sand is cooler.
 The hottest time of day will be from noon to 4pm. It is a good idea to avoid having your pet in the sun during this time.
 Dehydration can happen much faster in the summer. When you are away from your vacation rental, be sure to pack water for your pet – about twice as much as they would normally drink.
 Pets with shorter or lighter-colored fur are prone to sunburn conveniently, especially their nose and ears. If shade is not available, please consider bringing a sunscreen made for pets.
Tips & Tricks
 Be sure that your pet wears an ID collar complete with your cell phone number. If your pet’s collar has your home phone listed and you are on vacation, it will be difficult to contact you in the event he/she runs off.
 Rinse your pet with a hose or the vacation rental’s outdoor shower at the end of each day – sand and salt are just as uncomfortable for them as they are to you following a hot day.
 Be mindful of your pet overexerting him-/herself when playing in the sand or surf. Like kids, they don’t always stop.
Holden Beach does not allow dogs on the beach from May 20th to September 10th between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Dogs must be on a leash at all times on the island. Accepted on the beach September 11 to May 19th.

Getting the best rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• To book the largest rental within budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book 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 whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Carolina Beach rental home:

• Start by having your group decide on vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Holden Beach House \/ Short 5 minute walk to Beach \/ Perfect Family Vacation Home has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach beach you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. text the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
