Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Find your best deal:

• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Oak Island. To find the largest rental within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower 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 book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Dog-friendly home near the beach & Intracoastal with outdoor shower & deck has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is right for your trip.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
