Holden Beach, is a modest coastal community in southeast North Carolina (close to SC border as well) known for its welcoming locals, elegant beaches, and nesting sea turtles. Also known as “The Family Beach,” Holden has a long history of local families developing and serving the community, as well as a family-friendly ambiance. Conveniently located between the highly populated areas of Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, Holden, a peaceful pocket of family-owned beach bungalows, is away from the hustle and bustle of major cities. Commercial property is limited to maintain the integrity of the island, and regulations are in place to prevent over-commercialization along the shore. Recognized as a top beach by USA Today, and one of National Geographic Traveler’s Magazine top 10 family beach destinations, as well as being a sea turtle sanctuary, Holden Beach is the ideal destination for your next vacation.

When to book & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.

Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
