Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in the Brunswick area area. To get the best rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose a perfect Brunswick area rental home:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. 7BR\/6.5BA Home - Event Home, Ocean Views, Pool, Elevator, Sleeps 22 has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, call the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area beach you crave, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
