Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Brunswick area vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Brunswick area area visitor guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking the perfect Brunswick area rental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. ????Sandstep????Oceanfront, Shared Pool, Gas Grill?? has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If not, email or call the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
