-- FAQs --

Dunescape community: Conveniences include tennis, basketball, and beach volleyball courts, as well as a community pool (which is in addition to our private pool).

Accessibility: Our home has multiple sets of steps leading to the entrances. The beach access directly across the street requires ascending and then descending a set of steps over the dune; however, there is another beach access just down the street which does not require steps (at the east end public parking). Please do not hesitate to inquire about any additional specifics.

Beach items and garage access: Guests have access to the garage and the beach chairs, etc. stored within the garage. There are sufficient beach chairs for the home's guest capacity. We have a beach wagon available for guest use as well as some beach toys. Note: Guests must use the front door with a unique code to enter the property.

Coffee: We have a regular drip coffee maker as well as a single pod (k-cup) coffee maker.

Golf carts and bicycles: There are numerous companies who rent items like bicycles or street-legal golf carts and will deliver to the home on your check-in day. We are happy to provide recommendations upon request.

Airports: Wilmington (ILM) is the closest airport to Holden Beach. Myrtle Beach (MYR) is not much farther away, in the opposite direction. We would definitely recommend renting a car if flying in.

While these are the requests we most frequently receive, we are always available and happy to answer any questions!

Tricks and tips to get the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve 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 the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which include money-saving deals, 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 Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Panoramic View Steps from Beach - 4BD/4.5BA with Private Swimming Pool has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is best for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many difficulties.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to inspire new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
