Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Brunswick area rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To book the best vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your search:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The French House Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your trip.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area destination you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Call the host immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
