How to book the best Oak Island rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summertime is high season in the Brunswick area area. Book your rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Brunswick area area visitor guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental home:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Blue Dolphin Beach Cottage - Short Walk to Beach and Many New Updates has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If not, contact the property manager before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
