Tips to get the perfect Holden Beach vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First, have your group commit to vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Raising the Bar - Oceanfront - Private Pool - Gated Community! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
