How to book the best Holden Beach vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Holden Beach. To get the best vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Babington Ocean Front Beach Home with Pool--heated pool optional-- has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
