Finding the best vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Book your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation 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 hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental in the Brunswick area area:

• Choose vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Salty Dog: Beautiful oceanfront home perfect for a large family getaway has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area destination you simply love, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared 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 quickly to solve it.
