How to book the best vacation property experience:

When to visit Holden Beach & When to book:

• Summer months are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and pick a perfectrental:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Hobbs Realty - Walk \"Barefoot By The Sea\" in this charming home with a private pool and elevator has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a great stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to 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.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
