Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summertime is high season in Bald Head Island. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Brunswick area vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides have deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Choosing the best vacation rental:

• First and foremost, have your family choose vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Ultimate Bald Head cottage. Shoals Club\/BHI Club access w\/ GOLF. 2 golf carts. has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. Otherwise, call the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area attraction you long to visit, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• 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 some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
