Tricks and tips to get the best Currituck rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• In the Currituck area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by having your family agree to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Crabby Mermaid: 8 Bedrooms, 775 Ft to Beach, Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub has 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is right for your group.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Currituck destination you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
