How to find the best vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Brunswick area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the perfect vacation home:

• To start, have your family agree to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. Pet-friendly, fully-fenced yard, minutes to beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your group.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct 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.
