Our top Holden Beach vacation rental tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Holden Beach. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing the best vacation rental in Holden Beach:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. FUN BEACH GETAWAY! Beach Access Across the Street \/ Fully Equipped Kitchen has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
