Tips for getting the best Holden Beach vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• To get the best value, consider changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Pet-Friendly Second Row House Steps to Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
