We are one of the few screened-in porches on the island and you will fall instantly in adore with rocking in the chairs while taking in the beautiful vistas of the ocean that have made Holden Beach one of the most trendy family beaches around.

We know how much we appreciate having our furry friends with us on our vacation so we want you to have yours, too. Our home is pet-friendly and they appreciate calming around on the back porch, too. For bigger families or groups, consider renting our additional oceanfront property 'Tern Inn' (Vacation Rental By Owner # 443639) next door.

We have outfitted our home to help you forget about the busy life and fall in appreciate with kicking off your shoes and getting back in touch with fun and relaxation. We have four beach cruiser bicycles for you to discover the island. Boogie boards and sand toys are here for the kids (ok, the adults too) and we even have a library of family friendly DVDs for the movie watchers. We adore our beach home and we think you will too.

Strategies to get the perfect rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Perfect Family Vacation Getaway!! has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is right for your trip.
• 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or might be applied to your invoice.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Advice for a great stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
