Strategies to get the very best vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are high season in Holden Beach. To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best vacation rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. \"The Pelican Dive\" is a pet-friendly oceanfront home with a pool and views of the ocean and marsh. has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or may be applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
