How to book the best Brunswick area vacation rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• To find the best value, try changing your family's Brunswick area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-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 doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

• To start, have your family select date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cheerful Cottage - Beach Retreat - Near the Boardwalk has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the host before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
