The space
Remodeled Sept 2020 - All of our creativity and appreciate went into making The Aether a unique and extravagant hideaway.

Guest access
The condo is yours to savor, there are coin laundry machines located across the hallway. There is an elevator, but it is sometimes out of service.
Other things to note
The condo faces Front Street which is great for people watching and festivals, it may get noisy at nighttime, definitely on Friday and Saturdays. We added thick cellular blinds and heavy black out draperies when we refreshed, and provide complimentary ear plugs for your comfort if needed. :-)

There is an elevator, I can NOT guarantee it will be working during your stay as it is original to the building and prone to being cranky. The condo is on the 2nd floor, there are granite stairs.

We pay for monthly parking in a public garage, with pedestrian access across the street from our building.

Tips for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

Getting the best value:

• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Booking your Brunswick area vacation home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing the best rental home:

• First and foremost, have your family select trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. The Aether - Luxe King -1 BLK 2 RVR- Free PKG has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
