Strategies to get the very best rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer months are high season in the Brunswick area area. To find the best rental for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. 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 family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect rental home in Bald Head Island:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Updated 4 BR home in Cape Fear Station by East Beach with access to Shoals Club has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If not, contact the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Traveling with pets? 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 your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
