Tips to get the best Currituck vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Currituck area. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies supply Currituck area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. 1624 The Sand Piper *8 Min Walk to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for special 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 break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
