Tips and Tricks to get the best Brunswick area rental home experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area travel guides which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. 2BR\/2BA, Oceanfront Cottage, Amazing Views of Ocean, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 6 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If not, email or call the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
