Tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Brunswick area area. To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Choosing and booking the best Brunswick area vacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. OIB Lovin’ Life - Steps From The Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the host before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your group.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area attraction you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
