Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Summertime is high season in Holden Beach. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Brunswick area trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitors guides which include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking the best Brunswick area vacation home:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Holden Beach House w\/ Boat Dock: Steps to Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area destination you long to visit, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

More considerations:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
