How to book the best rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Brunswick area area. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Brunswick area area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the perfect vacation rental:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. The Wilmingtonian on Front has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
