How to get the best Holden Beach rental home experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. To book the largest rental for your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Carolina Beach attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect rental:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Holden Beach House w\/ Boat Dock: Steps to Beach! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If not, email the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you long to visit, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Advice for your stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
