Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Brunswick area vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To find the best rental home within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Brunswick area restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and pick a perfect Brunswick area vacation home:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Beach Fact Oar: Sunny Beach Cottage with Expansive Ocean Views has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area attraction you are enamored with, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
