Booking the best rental home experience:

When to reserve a Brunswick area rental home & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in the Brunswick area area. To get the best rental within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking the best Brunswick area rental:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Short Walk to Beach - Grills - Firepit has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area destination you simply love, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
