Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Currituck attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the 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.

Choosing and booking the bestvacation home:

• First, have your group choose a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. A Golden Opportunity: Semi-Oceanfront w\/Heated Pool, Hot Tub and Across from Beach! has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is best for your vacation group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips to have a great stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
