Welcome to “The Boys of Summer Rental”! We’ve freshly given this classic Oceanfront Cottage a fresh new look. You’ll adore the new decking board on the porch and sun deck, all-new furnishings and beds, appliances, windows, and doors. We’ve even repainted the whole place to make it feel brand new.

You’ll be right on the beach! The fenced-in yard gives you direct access to the ocean. Savor gorgeous sunset vistas from the sun deck or the covered sizable porch. Take a calming walk on the four rocking chairs, lounge on your private deck, or appreciate an outdoor dinner on the picnic table. And if you need to run errands, there’s a 5-min. walk to the eateries, stores, and grocery store.

The yard is entirely fenced in, making it a great place for kids and family pets. Just a heads up, there’s a 1-pet limit of up to 100 lbs.

Oak Island rental home booking tips:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Brunswick area area. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. OCEAN FRONT, 4BR, 2BA, FENCED YARD, PET FRIENDLY, Walkable to shops\/restaurants has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If they are not listed, email the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
