Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 3 Bedroom 1.5 Bath House, Oceanfront, Direct Beach Access, Sleeps 6 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area attraction you long to visit, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, record any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
