How to get the best Corolla vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Corolla. To find the best value, change your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Currituck area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking a perfectrental home:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Horseplay! *4x4 beach has 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. message the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically 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 fishing?
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
