Tips to get the best rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Choosing the perfect rental in the Brunswick area area:

• To start, have your family decide on the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. John's Crab Shack - Fenced Backyard - Close Beach Walk has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your family.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, 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 when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
