Tips and Tricks to get the very best Currituck vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Corolla. To get the most suitable rental home within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Currituck visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the best vacation rental in Corolla:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. 1624 The Sand Piper *8 Min Walk to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is best for your vacation group.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Have a great stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the property manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
