Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in Holden Beach. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property 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 tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in Holden Beach:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Tortuga - Fantastic Canal Home with Floating Dock! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach beach you love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the host immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
