Booking the best vacation home experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach 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 the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the best vacation rental in Holden Beach:

• First, have your family select vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Short walk to the beach Dog friendly too! Docking for boaters! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach destination you love, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
