Tricks and tips for getting the best Brunswick area vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your Brunswick area rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation home in Oak Island:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. \"Mellow Mermaid\" Pet Friendly Oceanfront Cottage Steps to Pier & Restaurants has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is best for your group.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Call the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
