Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Carolina Beach. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing and booking the bestrental home:

• Choose vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Upscale 4 BR Duplex with a Pool! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. If not, email the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is suitable for your vacation.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area attraction you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
