Surrounded by elegant trees, you can start your mornings out slow on the calming screened porch with your favorite cup of coffee as the ocean breezes rustle gently through the trees and breathe in the healing salt air. Inside, you will continue to feel a sense of calm as you take in the soothingly decorated beach theme throughout the home. With the open-concept floor plan, everybody can be together, even as the chef in the family whips up a special meal. The master bedroom suite is very roomy and offers a whirlpool tub in the private bath so you can relax your cares away. There are also two guest bedrooms - one a bunk bedroom, ideal for the kids - the other offering a queen and a twin single, ideal for a modest family or teenagers. Don't forget about the sizable fenced backyard where you can grille out your catch from a day of fishing at the beach or visit one of the local fresh seafood markets to grab your dinner! Appreciate rocking away on the two-seater swing under the home as the kids play, catching up on old times with family and friends.

Strategies to get the very best vacation home experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Brunswick area vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 3 BR\/2 BA Home, Minutes to Beach, Pool with Heating, Sleeps 9 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. Otherwise, call the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your trip.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area destination you are crazy about, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
