Tips to get the perfect Brunswick area rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable rental for your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant 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 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 vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking the rightrental home:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Great Location in St James - 2 BR Villa with Pool - Access to Oak Island Beach Club has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you book the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or may be applied to your contract.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
