Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation rental experience:

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

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Corolla. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Currituck area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 1472 Drifting Sands * 3 Min Drive to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.

• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review.

If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
