Corolla rental booking tips:

When to visit & When to reserve a Currituck rental home:

• In the Currituck area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in Corolla. To get the best rental within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Currituck restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing and booking the perfectrental:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. 1359 Happy Ours * 3 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Advice for a great stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to inspire future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
