Holden Beach, is a modest coastal community in southeast North Carolina (close to SC border as well) known for its welcoming locals, gorgeous beaches, and nesting sea turtles. Also known as “The Family Beach,” Holden has a long history of local families developing and serving the community, as well as a family-friendly ambiance. Conveniently located between the highly populated areas of Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, Holden, a peaceful pocket of family-owned beach bungalows, is away from the hustle and bustle of major cities. Commercial property is limited to maintain the integrity of the island, and regulations are in place to prevent over-commercialization along the shore. Recognized as a top beach by USA Today, and one of National Geographic Traveler’s Magazine top 10 family beach destinations, as well as being a sea turtle sanctuary, Holden Beach is the ideal destination for your next vacation.

How to find the best Southport vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Southport area. To book the most suitable rental home within budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Southport area visitors guides which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Breathtaking Panoramic Views: OCEAN, MARSH & IC Waterway 2nd Row SUMMER SUNSETS has 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is right for your family.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
