Strategies for getting the best rental home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Brunswick area rental home:

• In the Brunswick area area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your Brunswick area vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting and booking the perfect Brunswick area rental:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Quiet Hideaway Half a Mile to the Beach a Mile to the Boardwalk\nLinens Included! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
