Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer months are high season in Holden Beach. To find the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Southport area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the best vacation home:

• Select your vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. On Holden Beach Island has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Call the host right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
