How to get the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

When to book a Brunswick area rental & When to go:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your Brunswick area vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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 on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Make a plan and pick your prefect Brunswick area rental:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Chic oceanfront cottage for cozy beach getaway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area beach you long to visit, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
