The space
Our home was constructed in 1860 and we have just done a complete remodel converting it back in to a single family residence (it has been a law office for the last 40 years). The open kitchen and living room are unique to a home from this era. Plenty of room for a family gathering. 2 Master bedrooms. One on each floor. Each has its own private bathroom. A "Kid" bedroom has 2 bunk beds, one with a double bed and the other with a full size bed trundle. It also has a sleeper couch. A great home for a family reunion, bridal event, college reunion, or two couples with their kids. There is also futon (and an option for an air bed) in the downstairs front library if your group needs more space.
Original Heart Pine floors throughout.
Guest access
The whole, 2 story, 2400 square foot home is yours.

Tips to get the very best Brunswick area vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 1860 House In the Heart of Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is optimal for your group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area beach you crave, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Advice for your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
