Strategies for getting the perfect Brunswick area rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To book the best rental for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. 5BR 5.5BA House-Oceanfront; Ocean, ICW & Lighthouse Views; Sleeps 10 has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area beach you crave, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

During your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Speak to the property manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
