Our top Vacation rental home tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Holden Beach. To find the most suitable rental home within budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Hobbs Realty - Blvd Home w\/Heated Pool and Community Day Dock Access has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available online. If not, call the property owner before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you are crazy about, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
