Tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

When to visit Holden Beach & When to book:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
