Tricks and tips to get the optimal Brunswick area vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Ocean Isle Beach. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. BURDEN'S END in OIB - 3 minutes to sand! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is right for your group.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. message the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few issues.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
