Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

When to visit Holden Beach & When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental home:

• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the most suitable rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have deals for local accommodations and attractions.

How to choose and book a perfectrental home:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Original Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach attraction you crave, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
