Strategies to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• To find the largest vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Welcome to Happy Honu has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. If not, call the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
