Strategies to get the best Corolla rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• In the Currituck area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the largest rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Currituck attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Beautifully appointed Corolla condo with direct beach access! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Currituck attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
