Rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Book your Brunswick area vacation home in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in Bald Head Island:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Classic Coastal Cottage 3 BR 3.5 Baths Walk to Marina, Beach and Old Baldy has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Advice for your stay:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors 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 bird watching?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
