This home has everything for the ideal beach vacation ! The beach slopes gently to the water and is ideal for outdoor fun. Walk towards the east end of the island to swim in the tide pools at low tide and search for sand dollars and sea shells. If you are up for a longer walk, you can walk around the end of the island to discover one of the Holden Golden Memory Mailboxes located on the intracoastal waterway where you can read other peoples' memories and perhaps share some of your own. You will feel like you are visiting in an island heaven with the striking ocean in front of you, pristine beaches, and no hordes.

This is the tenth year we have listed our home with Vacation Rental By Owner, however, we have rented it privately and have had many renters coming back year after year. What renters like best about the home are the beach front location, the comfort of the home, the fact that the home is extremely family friendly and it has a vintage feel with its pine floors, walls, and ceilings in the living areas, and a well equipped kitchen with basic spices supplied.

Please note that during the prime weeks of the summer--June 2 - August 11--we have a 7-nighttime minimum stay running Sunday to Sunday. Before and after Prime season, we have a 3-nighttime minimum stay. These stays can begin on any day of the week.

Strategies to get the perfect Brunswick area vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Charming Oceanfront Cottage on Holden Beach-weeks still open in June and July! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area destination you love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or might be applied to your invoice.

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. text the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
