Sensational Oceanfront Six Bedroom Home On Family-Friendly Holden Beach With Private Oceanfront Pool

We are SO Excited to Announce Pool Installation Plans !!!!!!!

We just got confirmation from our pool installer that our pool has been delivered to their warehouse ! For 2022, we will have a brand new pool with decking on the Oceanfront side of our home. Many of you have asked for this delight, and we started this process over 1 year ago. We are currently scheduled for installation in winter 2021. We will have heating capability for the early spring and later fall units. There will be a heating fee for those that request pool heat in advance. Heat must be requested at least 1 week prior to your arrival.

This private oceanside pool will be open from Easter - October. If you choose to buy pool heat, we will turn on the heater 24 hours prior to your arrival. With the understanding that outdoor weather conditions greatly affect pool water temperature and under the peerless of conditions, the pool can be heated to a max. of 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Pool heaters can only maintain a temperature of 8-10 degrees above outdoor air temperature. Pool heaters cannot operate if the temperature outdoor is under 55 degrees.

Once installation is complete, we will have a new photo shoot so you can see both the pool and our new refreshed kitchen. In the unlikely event that pool installation does not take place, we will adjust the rate downward. At that time you will be given the option of cancelling with a full refund or keeping your reservation at the lowered rate.

About Holden Beach

Welcome to Holden Beach, North Carolina, where family values and old fashioned fun are still a part of your holiday. Holden Beach has a very modest commercial area on the island. That point is considered by many to be a key reason to keep them coming back year after year. While there are limited commercial establishments on the island, everything one could want is located within a brief driving distance.

The causeway leading to the island contains many specialty stores and stores, and the Town of Shallotte just 10 mins. away has multiple chain grocery and department stores that give all the necessities. Wilmington and Myrtle Beach are only 35-45 mins. away and if you can't find what you're looking for there, it doesn't exist.

There are over 125 superb golf courses within a one-hour drive from Holden Beach. Courses range from very challenging to user-friendly for golfers who don't always hit the ball where they want it to go. The Myrtle Beach area is perhaps the most striking region in the United States to find a course just right. Seasonal costs vary.

Boating, fishing and hiking the island are very outstanding activities. Shell hunters can find so many that the children will fill up the car when they return home. The island is a sea turtle habitat and during the hatching season (May to October) those who don't mind staying up late at nighttime can witness one of nature's most interesting pleasures – watching hundreds of modest sea turtles "boil' out of the sand and marching to the sea.

There is no other North Carolina barrier island like Holden Beach. If you're looking for low commercial impact and a wholesome family-aligned mood, you have come to the right place.

Wallet-Friendly Tips

• Search for the official tourism bureau where you want to travel. Many established tourism bureaus offer tourism guide books with promotions for vacation rental management companies, restaurants and activities. These guides provide a good start to your vacation rental search.
• In a position to change your travel dates? The off-peak shoulder seasons frequently offer amazing rates on weekly rentals.
• Active Duty and veterans of the U.S. Armed forces may be qualified for discounted prices. Make sure to ask property owner to see if your vacationing crew qualifies for a rate reduction.
• Is there a specific activity you are mainly looking forward to ? You should prioritize your proximity to the adventures and interesting attractions you are most interested in.
• Property management companies and individual rental owners typically offer clients an opportunity to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the basic stay cost, offers guests reimbursement of their travel costs for any nights missed as a result of personal medical emergencies or hurricanes, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or expenses, like an unexpected motel stay or extra gasoline. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforseen happens (heaven forbid!).

The Earlier You Begin, The Better The Choices

Southport rental homes book several months (and up to a year) in advance. To ensure the best choice of vacation rentals, we recommend searching and booking your Southport getaway 6-12 months in advance, whenever possible. A lot of groups plan to start their search over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holiday gatherings.

Decide on a Village and Time

Begin by choosing which particular area of Southport you would like to visit, and the choose dates you'll be vacationing.

Exactly How Much Vacation rental Do You Really Need?

Confirm who is going, and how many/what particular bedroom setup you'll need. Remember that that many vacation rentals list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in the living room space. You'll need to figure out what is acceptable for your family. Generally rental listings will outline each one of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattress sizes.

Stay on a Budget

Many rental homes are advertised with a cost range. Determine the price for your chosen trip. It may be at the high end of the range. If several individuals or family members are sharing the cost, always make sure that each group knows their responsibility and has approved a maximum they are prepared to pay. Typically, a single member of the group will be liable for making the whole reservation and recovering each person's share.

Let's Talk Amenities

What amenities is your family interested in? Is a swimming pool reallynecessary?Do you want a vacation property with outside kitchen? Will the unit need to be beach front, the downtown area, or in close proximity to shopping? Are extras like beach chairs, barbecue grills, beach umbrellas, carts or coolers at your disposal and included in your rental property rate? Gather a list of prioritized "necessities and desires" from your company to help filter your search to the most suitable home.

Accessability

Do certain members of your group have specific needs? If wheel chair accessibility, elevators, pool lifts or other special devices are needed, factor that into your search. Nearly all vacation rental listings will include a list of amenities.

Have You Considered Furry Family Members?

Are you or other members of the party travelling with a pup? While quite a few rentals permit animal friends, guidelines and costs fluctuate per rental. A number of constraints could dismiss a prospective rental property. Ensure that you study agreements and contracts carefully. Service fees may apply when animals are included. Ask questions *before* you book!

Start your Search

A number of websites exist to match clients with rental owners.. Besides Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we advise searching Google for "Southport local vacation rentals" for local property management companies. Local rental home management companies proudly offer an exceptional vacation experience.

Negotiate

When you have identified the rentalhome of your dreams, check to confirm your travel dates are available.

Some rental owners will negotiate prices, and some won't. If they are unwilling to budge on a peak-season stay, try getting an additional night. Off-peak weeks will likely be negotiable more often than peak-season..

Go Through The Contract

Read the entire agreement and make certain you fully understand who is liable for:

• Utility bills
• Internet
• Long Distance Phone Service
• Pool Heating
• Cable and pay-per-view TV
• Cleaning Service
• Trash collection
• Maintenance (get a phone number)
• Key exchange
• Parking requirements

Get a total that includes taxes, animal and other extra fees.

If you want to Cancel

Make sure you are familiar with the cancellation policy prior to booking. You'll probably be offered trip insurance. Trip insurance safeguards the renter against emergencies and weather events, It gives peace of mind should tragedy strike.

Reserve your Rental Home

When everything looks correct, it's finally time for you to sign on the dotted line. Bear in mind that most rental contracts require a significant rental deposit and/or security deposit to cover the vacation home owner.

Keep Your Property Manager's Information

Make sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend saving the contact's information in your smartphone and wallet.

Congratulations! All that is left is enjoying your vacation!

During your Stay

• Take pictures at your arrival. To make certain no damages are attributed to your visit, create a record of any trouble spots of the property. If you discover damages, or if repairs are needed get in touch with the property manager immediately. This will protect against conflicts during check out.
• You could need instructions for a gas fireplace, Television set or spa. Call your property manager. They are there to help. A quick phone call avoids many head aches.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Residents often live within earshot. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking regulations can make a trip substantially more enjoyable.
• Ask a local. Natives can frequently point you in the right direction.
• Enjoy your stay! Make certain to protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the property secured while you are away, just like you would in your own home.

When its Time to Leave

• Double-check each room of the vacation property to assure you've gathered all valuables.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental home one last time and check for damage. We advise walking through with the rental manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible).. If the property owner is not available, make sure to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How do you feel about your stay? Most property management companies and rental home sites allow travellers to provide reviews. If the rental home and/or property manager was excellent, they will likely appreciate your compliments. If anything went wrong and they failed to correct it in a practical manner, or when the property wasn't as described, you may want to make it a point in your critique.
