Our top Rental property booking tips:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your Brunswick area rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 your favorite beach.
• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Carefree Coastal Getaway - Walk to Long Beach has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct 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 feedback.
