Tricks and tips for getting the best rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfect Brunswick area rental:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 5BR\/3BA - Beautiful, Ocean View Home-Close to the Beach, Sleeps 12 has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the host before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
