Finding the best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the perfect rental home in Holden Beach:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. 3 Gulls & A Buoy: Spacious, new beach home sitting on the marsh w ocean views. has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
