Tips for getting the best Currituck vacation rental experience:

When to visit Corolla & When to reserve a Currituck rental home:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Currituck restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies supply Currituck area travel guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect rental home in the Currituck area:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. 1662 Dune Our Thing * 10 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Currituck beach you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
