Our top Vacation rental tips:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Holden Beach. Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Southport area visitors guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect vacation home:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Holden Beach House w\/ Boat Dock: Steps to Beach! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you book the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your group.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you simply love, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, 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 trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
