Brunswick area rental booking tips:

Finding the best rental value:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summer is high season in the Brunswick area area. To find the best value, try changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the best vacation rental in Oak Island:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Beachy Keen ~Charming Dog Friendly Cottage-Walk to Beach! Sleeps 6 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
