Booking the best rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking a perfect Brunswick area vacation home:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Newly Remodeled - Secret Gem, Wooded, Private, Close to Beach, Market & BHI Club has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property manager before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Additional considerations:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of issues.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the property manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
