Our top Brunswick area vacation rental tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Brunswick area area. Book your Brunswick area rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose the right Brunswick area vacation home:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Shellease Cottage-\n4 minute walk to the beach!\nGolf Cart available! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically 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 fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to drive future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
