Getting the best rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer months are high season in the Brunswick area area. To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local 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 information, visitors guide magazines have deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Carolina Family Tides: On the water, boat slip, steps from beach, and VIEWS! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area destination you are enamored with, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
