Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Wilmington. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and pick the best Brunswick area rental:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Ivey Cottage: 5 min to Downtown & Pet Friendly! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Tips for your stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the host 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 very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct 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.
