Strategies for getting the best Brunswick area vacation rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the largest vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Brunswick area attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking the right Brunswick area rental home:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. 2 Bdrm\/2 Bath Condo, Pool, Elevator, Close To Beach!, Sleeps 7 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or applied to your invoice.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
