Unwind on one of the covered porches. Take advantage of the enormous deck on the canal with a floating dock to anchor your boat after a bountiful day on the water. Bring your own fishing rods and crab nets; fish right off the dock! Blue crabs, and occasionally a stone crab will show up in your nets.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. 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 family and friends at the beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Hobbs Realty - \"Fool's Paradise\" an island home on the canal with boat dock, 2 living rooms and great water views! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct 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 review.
