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

When to go & When to book:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking the right Brunswick area vacation home:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 4BR\/3BA Home - 2nd Row, Ocean Views, Steps to Beach, Pool w\/ Heating, Sleeps 10 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area beach you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. message the property manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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 family have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
