Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer is high season in Holden Beach. Book your rental home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• To start, have your group agree to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Pet-Friendly Second Row House Steps to Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC destination you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
