Strategies to get the best Brunswick area vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Brunswick area vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. The Salty Dog: Beautiful Oceanfront Home Ideal for Large Family Getaway has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
