Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your rental home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 1363 Dolphin Days * 5 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is suitable for your vacation family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from 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.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to drive future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
