How to get the best rental experience:

Getting the best value:

• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing your prefect Brunswick area vacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Blue Haven: 4 Bed\/2 Bath Oceanfront Knotty Pine Beach Cottage with two Covered P has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, email the host before booking the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your vacation.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
