Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your Currituck rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Currituck area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose vacation week and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Lauren Liess-Designed Retreat ~ Pool and Hot Tub! has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
