Holden is a peaceful pocket of family-owned beach bungalows, is away from the hustle and bustle of major cities. Commercial property is limited to maintain the integrity of the island, and regulations are in place to prevent over-commercialization along the shore. Recognized as a top beach by USA Today, and one of National Geographic Traveler’s Magazine top 10 family beach destinations, as well as being a sea turtle sanctuary, Holden Beach is the ideal destination for your next vacation.

Strategies for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summer is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To get the best rental home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. 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, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to choose and book the best Cape Fear area rental:

• Start by having your group agree to the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. 2nd row-OCEAN, MARSH & IC Waterway views & SUMMER SUNSETS has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
