Tips to get the perfect Bald Head Island vacation home experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Book your Brunswick area rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the best rental in Bald Head Island:

• Choose vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Amazing, refreshing and serene- Coastal Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
