Brunswick area vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Get the best rental value:

• Reserve your Brunswick area vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to select the best rental home in Oak Island:

• First and foremost, have your group select date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Relaxing Screened Porch, Hot Tub, and Walk to the Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out which bed configuration is best for your family.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out 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.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
