To make our home fun for your vacation, we have chosen furnishing and decor particularly with families in mind. The location of RuRu's by the Sea is ideal for a family. The kids will appreciate a swim in the private pool before bedtime making mom and dad's job all the easier. Run, do not walk, to the screened in porch to savor a peaceful glass of wine as the kids doze off from a fun day at the beach. Bicycle, cart or walk to discover the close by beaches or the wonder of the maritime forest.

Finding the best Brunswick area vacation property experience:

When to book a Brunswick area rental & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer special 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 management companies frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship 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.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefectrental home:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Amazing, refreshing and serene- Coastal Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the property manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
