Tricks and tips to get the perfect Brunswick area rental home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Oak Island. Book your Brunswick area rental in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guides have coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in the Brunswick area area:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Chic oceanfront cottage for cozy beach getaway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation.
