Strategies to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to visit Holden Beach & When to book:

• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Book your Carolina Beach vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking your prefect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Start by having your family decide on date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. FUN BEACH GETAWAY! Beach Access Across the Street \/ Fully Equipped Kitchen has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Have a great stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
