How to get the best Corolla rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Currituck area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 1675* A Shore Thing *2 min walk to beach access has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Currituck beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
