How to book the best Corolla vacation property experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer months are high season in Corolla. Booking your Currituck vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Beautiful Corolla vacation home, just 85 yards to the beach! has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
