Tricks and tips to get the best rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Brunswick area area. Book your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the perfect vacation home in Oak Island:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Mermaid Cove has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If not, reach out to the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Tips for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
