Tips and Tricks to get the best Bald Head Island vacation property experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Brunswick area area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation home in the Brunswick area area:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Historical Oceanfront Cottage, BHI has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
