Strategies to get the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

Summer time is high season in the Brunswick area area. To book the best rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Some hosts and property managers offer special rates 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 group before you book.
Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
Look for your local Brunswick area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Filter your rental search:

Select your vacation week and max budget.
Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Ginger Mermaid \/ 916 E Dolphin Drive - Coastal Vacation Resorts has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
