Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Brunswick area vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Brunswick area area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Book your Brunswick area rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

• To start, have your group decide on dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. At Turtle Cottage: Oceanfront Home with Spacious Deck, Close to Pier and Restaur has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is right for your vacation family.

• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.

• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback.
