Strategies to get the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Carolina Beach vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking 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 or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best vacation rental in Holden Beach:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Hobbs Realty - Elegant “Holden 5” has it all! Private heatable pool, an elevator, and stunning panoramic views. has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach beach you are enamored with, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
