Strategies for getting the best Holden Beach vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Booking your Carolina Beach vacation home in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, picking, and booking your Carolina Beach vacation home:

• First, have your family select a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. \"Making Memories\" - PET FRIENDLY Oceanfront Home w\/ Private Pool, 5 Bedrooms \/ 5.5 Bathrooms has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Advice for a great stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
