Strategies to get the very best vacation property experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a Brunswick area rental home:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Book your vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Blue Fish Shack: Dog-Friendly Waterway Home with Private Boat Dock has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges applied to your agreement.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
