Booking the best Corolla vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Currituck area. To book the most suitable vacation home within budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Currituck attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Currituck area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the best rental home in the Currituck area:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Blue Crab Cottage: Private Pool, Hot Tub, Dogs OK has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
