Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Brunswick area vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Brunswick area area. To get the best value, try shifting your family's Brunswick area trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose a perfectrental:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Updated 2022 Decorated Cottage Sleeps 10 Shoals Club has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, email the host before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the rental manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
