Our top Vacation rental tips:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• In the Currituck area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your Currituck vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Currituck visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestvacation home:

• Start by having your group choose vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Life By The Sea - OBX has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Currituck beach you crave, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
