Tips and Tricks to get the best Brunswick area vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in Wilmington. To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your search:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. The Historic Emerald Gem ~ Walk to Downtown Wilmington! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your vacation.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
