Strategies to get the optimal Currituck vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Currituck area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Corolla. To book the best rental home within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by having your group agree to the best dates and a budget.
• Oceanfront
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you book the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific Currituck destination you love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to inspire new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
