Our top Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in the Brunswick area area. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Brunswick area area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Blue Haven: 4 Bed\/2 Bath Oceanfront Knotty Pine Beach Cottage with two Covered P has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
