Tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in the Currituck area. Reserve your Currituck rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Currituck area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• Start by having your family decide on a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. 1675* A Shore Thing *2 min walk to beach access has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. If not, contact the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Currituck attraction you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective 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.
