Strategies to get the very best Brunswick area vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property 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.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Blue Crab Bay- fabulous 5 bedroom house, steps from the beach, ocean views! has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Call the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
