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

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the best rental home in Oak Island:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. 3BR/2BA Duplex - Oceanfront, Gazebo, Close to Shops, Dining, FUN, Sleeps 8 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, note any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
