Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Carolina Beach rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Book your 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 Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Holden Beach. Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property 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.

Finding the perfect vacation home in the Carolina Beach area:

• First and foremost, have your family choose dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Hobbs Realty - Oceanfront w\/Heated Pool, Elevator, and Second Living Area has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
