Our top Rental home tips:

How to get the best value:

• In the Brunswick area area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, change your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Fountain's Folly: Coastal Retreat with Floating Pier and Crab Dock on Waterway has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
