Strategies to get the optimal vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, shift your family's Brunswick area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Tranquil Family Home located in Surfman's Walk; private crofter with shoals access has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

More considerations:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
