Tricks and tips to get the very best Brunswick area rental experience:

When to visit Carolina Beach & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your Brunswick area vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Direct Oceanfront 3 bedroom rustic beach cottage. Great beach memories! has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what bed configuration is right for your family.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area destination you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
