How to get the best rental experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Holden Beach. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.

Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective.
