Holden Beach vacation rental tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Hobbs Realty - \"Once Upon A Tide\" offers private pool and Intracoastal Waterway Nature Trail has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• At Check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
