Tips to get the best rental experience:

When to visit Holden Beach & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC 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 your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the perfect rental in Holden Beach:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Carpe Diem - Spectacular Ocean, Waterway & Marsh Views! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is best for your family.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you long to visit, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
