Strategies for getting the best Corolla rental experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your Currituck vacation rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Currituck area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your group agree to date ranges and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. 1008 Shellous * 5 Min Walk to Beach * Dog Friendly has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is suitable for your family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Currituck beach you crave, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Advice for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
