Tips and Tricks to get the very best Brunswick area vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Summertime is high season in Carolina Beach. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing and booking the bestrental:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cotton's Cottage - Bullard Realty has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is best for your trip.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area beach you crave, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
