How to book the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Currituck area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. OCEANFRONT:7 Bed;8 Bath;2 Heated Pools;4 Whirlpools;Spa;Private Walkway to beach has 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order 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 review.
