Tips for getting the best Holden Beach vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider changing your family's Cape Fear area vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast?
