Finding the best Currituck vacation home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, try shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 1472 Drifting Sands * 3 Min Drive to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
