Our top Holden Beach vacation rental booking tips:

Get the most from your budget:

• Summer is high season in Holden Beach. To book the most suitable rental home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking yourrental home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. The First Catch at Holden Beach - 5Bd, 3 Ba, Dogs! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your group.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your contract.

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the property manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
