How to get the best Brunswick area vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Brunswick area area. Reserve your Brunswick area rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. 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.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Brunswick area area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking a perfect Brunswick area vacation home:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Family oasis beach retreat in quiet woodlands has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or applied to your contract.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the property manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
