Getting the best vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Holden Beach. To find the most suitable rental within your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First, have your family select date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Tortuga - Fantastic Canal Home with Floating Dock! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the host right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local beaches.

• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
