Strategies for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

Get the best value:

• The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Booking your Brunswick area vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to choose and book the perfectvacation home:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Great views of the Atlantic Ocean, high on dune, close to beach access, BHI has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area attraction you love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to inspire more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
