Booking the best Holden Beach rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Book your Brunswick area rental in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing the bestrental home:

• Choose your dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. FUN BEACH GETAWAY! Beach Access Across the Street / Fully Equipped Kitchen has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the host before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
