Tips and Tricks to get the best rental home experience:

When to visit Wilmington & When to book:

• To get the most suitable rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick a perfectrental:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. The Glass Garden\/ 60s\/70s Retro-Themed Apartment has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the host immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
