LOCATION:
Located on a modest barrier island, Holden Beach is located by water on all sides with eight miles of wide open beaches. Holden Beach has kept its timeless appeal and slow-paced lifestyle. There are no stoplights, high rises, or storefronts on the island. Holden Beach was highlighted on the cover of Coastal Living’s 2020 summer magazine as the Finest Beach in North Carolina.

If you want to take a break from the kitchen, Holden Beach offers a variety of eateries that satisfy both your taste buds and your budget. Sample some of the fantastic, fresh seafood at one of the waterfront grilles. Be sure to try a scoop of homemade ice cream from one of the local hot spots.

How to get the best Holden Beach rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• To get the best value, consider changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation home in the Carolina Beach area:

• First and foremost, have your family choose dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Spacious family home with private beachfront pool and clubhouse has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your invoice.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
