Our top Oak Island rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Brunswick area area. Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and picking yourrental home:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Charming Coastal Cottage with 2 Oceanfront Bedrooms has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your family.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your visit, record any problem areas when you arrive. Call the rental manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
