Strategies to get the optimal vacation property experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summer time is high season in Holden Beach. To get the best value, shift your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Hobbs Realty - \"Terrapin Station\" offer views of the marsh and ocean, 4 bedrooms ,and private pool has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. 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 bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
