Strategies to get the very best rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• To get the best value, change your family's Currituck vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Planning and choosing your Currituck rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. C7436 KEYSTONE KOTTAGE. PRIV POOL W\/HEAT & EXT SEASON! PETS! HOT TUB, SHORT WALK TO THE BEACH! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If not, email the host before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your trip.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
