Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Corolla rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Currituck area. To find the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Currituck area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Currituck area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the best vacation home:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. 1661 Crown Jewel * 10 Min Walk to Beach has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before reserving the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is right for your family.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss 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.
