How to get the best vacation home experience:

When to visit Bald Head Island & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the largest rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Brunswick area restaurants and activities.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose your prefectvacation home:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Welcome to Life of Riley on BHI! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before you book the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the host right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to inspire more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation 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 expeditiously to remedy it.
