Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Holden Beach. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments.
