Tricks and tips to get the best Currituck vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay 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 unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Currituck area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking your prefectvacation home:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Animal House: Soundfront, Hot Tub, Dog-Friendly has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

During your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
