Tricks and tips to get the best rental home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, change your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. 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 Brunswick area rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean 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? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
