-- FAQs --

Dunescape community: Conveniences include tennis, basketball, and beach volleyball courts, as well as a community pool (which is in addition to our private pool).

Accessibility: Our home has numerous sets of steps leading to the entrances. The beach access directly across the street requires ascending and then descending a set of steps over the dune; however, there is another beach access just down the street which does not require steps (at the east end public parking). Please do not hesitate to inquire about any additional specifics.

Beach items and garage access: Guests have access to the garage and the beach chairs, etc. stored within the garage. There are sufficient beach chairs for the home's guest capacity. We have a beach wagon available for guest use as well as some beach toys. Note: Guests must use the front door with a unique code to enter the property.

Coffee: We have a regular drip coffee maker as well as a single pod (k-cup) coffee maker.

Golf carts and bicycles: There are numerous companies who rent items like bicycles or street-legal golf carts and will deliver to the home on your check-in day. We are happy to provide recommendations upon request.

Airports: Wilmington (ILM) is the closest airport to Holden Beach. Myrtle Beach (MYR) is not much farther away. We would definitely recommend renting a car if flying in.

While these are the requests we most frequently receive, we are always available and happy to answer any questions!

Getting the best Holden Beach rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Holden Beach. Book your rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends 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 whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• To start, have your family choose date ranges and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Panoramic View Steps from Beach - 4BD/4.5BA with Private Swimming Pool has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas during check in. Contact the property manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
