Vacation rental home tips:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Brunswick area area. To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many management companies supply Brunswick area area visitors guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. 7BR\/6.5BA Home - Event Home, Ocean Views, Pool, Elevator, Sleeps 22 has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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 thoroughly! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area attraction you are enamored with, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for 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 expeditiously to remedy it.
