Our top Bald Head Island vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer time is high season in the Brunswick area area. To get the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitors guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose the perfect Brunswick area rental home:

• Start by having your family decide on date ranges and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Ocean View - Family Friendly - Steps to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish which bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area destination you crave, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or could be applied to your contract.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
