Our top Corolla vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

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

• In the Currituck area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Reserve your Currituck rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Currituck area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Currituck attraction you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
