Strategies to get the perfect vacation home experience:

When to visit Holden Beach & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking your prefectvacation home:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Under 5-min Walk to the Waves has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your family.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges could be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, note any problem areas upon check in. message the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address 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.
