Holden Beach - Judge to be the best family beach in 2015.
For a “laid-back” ambiance, Leatherman favors Holden Beach, N.C. (pop. 575). On a tiny barrier island, the town is primarily residential, and traffic and crime are minimal. “When I look at the family beaches, safety is a very big issue,” Leatherman says.

NORTH CAROLINA’S BEST BEACHES:
The best beaches in North Carolina are made better by the ideal vacation rental: a breezy beach home, modern condo, or classic bungalow, perhaps?
Here is additional information and suggestions for pets in our home.
Pet Safety- Keep plenty of fresh water available to them and encourage them to drink it often. Many dogs like to drink the salty ocean water, but it is not good for them.
 Protect your pup’s paw pads from the hot sand during the summer. It is best to walk in the early morning or late evening when the sand is cooler.
 The hottest time of day will be from noon to 4pm. It is a good idea to avoid having your pet in the sun during this time.
 Dehydration can happen much faster in the summer. When you are away from your vacation rental, be sure to pack water for your pet – about twice as much as they would normally drink.
 Pets with shorter or lighter-colored fur are prone to sunburn effortlessly, especially their nose and ears. If shade is not available, please consider bringing a sunscreen made for pets.
Tips & Tricks
 Be sure that your pet wears an ID collar complete with your cell phone number. If your pet’s collar has your home phone listed and you are on vacation, it will be difficult to contact you in the event he/she runs off.
 Rinse your pet with a hose or the vacation rental’s outdoor shower at the end of each day – sand and salt are just as uncomfortable for them as they are to you following a hot day.
 Be mindful of your pet overexerting him-/herself when playing in the sand or surf. Like kids, they don’t always stop.
Holden Beach does not allow dogs on the beach from May 20th to September 10th between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Dogs must be on a leash at all times on the island. Accepted on the beach September 11 to May 19th.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Southport area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Booking your Southport vacation rental in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Southport area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in Holden Beach:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Holden Beach House \/ Short 5 minute walk to Beach \/ Perfect Family Vacation Home has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you are crazy about, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
