How to book the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Brunswick area area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Book your Brunswick area rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and pick your prefectvacation home:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. 2 Bedroom 1.5 Bath House, Walk to the Beach, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 5 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
