Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Holden Beach vacation home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the largest vacation home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Southport restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 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 catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• To start, have your group decide on date ranges and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Holden Beach House w\/ Boat Dock: Steps to Beach! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you are crazy about, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
