Tricks and tips to get the optimal Currituck rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Currituck area. Book your Currituck rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the perfect rental home in Corolla:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Gorgeous Corolla vacation home, directly across from the beach access! has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, call the host before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the property manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
