Strategies to get the best vacation home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefectrental home:

• Start by having your group select dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Family & Pet Friendly on the West End of Sunset Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is right for your group.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
