Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summertime is high season in Holden Beach. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to select the best rental:

• First, have your family select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Summer Sandcastle - Oceanfront Perfect for Families! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your group.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
