Date of Stay - April 2021
5 stars! We adored the home! It was extremely well organized and decorated. You can tell the owners spent tons of time providing everything you could need. We really liked the beach paintings. We found that the location is ideal, near the beach, the golf course, market, and marina.

N. Edmunds -. 5 STARS

Ferrytale Retreat has all the details covered—and what’s more important than the details? High-end appliances, super-well-appointed kitchen, impeccable décor, a Weber grille, extravagant memory foam beds, two great golf carts (but only blocks from a beach access). Great open spaces and comfortable bedrooms—just a outstanding place to cool down and mix a margarita after a day in the sun. Highest recommendation here.

Our top Brunswick area vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in the Brunswick area area. To get the best value, change your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with 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.

Make a plan and pick a perfectrental:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Spacious Home with Ocean Views from Primary Suite, 4BR, 3BA, SB location has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area attraction you love, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. text the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
