Booking the best rental home experience:

When to book a Brunswick area rental home & When to go:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, change your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guides which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First and foremost, have your family choose dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Ocean Haze - Oceanview Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what is suitable for your trip.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address 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.
