Finding the best vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Currituck area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Currituck area visitors guides that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the best vacation home in Corolla:

• To start, have your group commit to date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Corolla has 9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what is best for your trip.
• If there's an individual Currituck beach you long to visit, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
