Tips for getting the perfect Currituck rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• To book the most suitable rental home within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 1026 Carpe Diem * Oceanfront has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please 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.
