Our top Vacation rental tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Brunswick area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental in the Brunswick area area:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. The Unsinkable Mary has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.

• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.

• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments.

If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
