Tricks and tips to get the optimal Brunswick area vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Brunswick area area. To get the best value, try shifting your family's Brunswick area vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Brunswick area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation home in Carolina Beach:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Marsh front home with ocean views, 5 minute stroll to the beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your stay, record any problem areas during check in. Speak to the rental manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
