Our top Rental property booking tips:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing the best rental in the Brunswick area area:

• Start by having your group select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Kraken Kove: Gorgeous Getaway Between Beach and Intracoastal Waterway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically 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?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
