Our top Holden Beach vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• In the Southport area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing and booking the rightrental home:

• First, have your group commit to dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. \"On Holden Pond\" - Luxury Oceanfront Pet Friendly Home, 5 Bedrooms \/ 2 Bathrooms has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, call the property management company before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

During your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the host right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, 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 described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
