Our top Oak Island vacation rental tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Reserve your Brunswick area rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship 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.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. 4BR\/3.5BA House, 2nd Row with Water Views, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 11 has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your trip.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable 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 feedback.
