Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in Bald Head Island. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Brunswick area trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing the perfect vacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Ocean Front Home on S. Bald Head! has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
