Finding the best Sunset Beach vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Summertime is high season in Sunset Beach. To find the best rental within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Brunswick area attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Brunswick area area visitors guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose and book a perfect Brunswick area rental:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Family & Pet Friendly on the West End of Sunset Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. message the host immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
