Booking the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Brunswick area rental home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and picking your prefect Brunswick area vacation home:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. The Seashell: Charming Bungalow a Short Stroll From the Sand has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
