Tricks and tips to get the perfect Brunswick area vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Book your Brunswick area rental property in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your prefect Brunswick area vacation home:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Sea-renity at Driftwood Villas has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or might be applied to your contract.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
