Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Corolla. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by having your group select vacation dates and a budget.
• Private Pool, Hot Tub, and Community Pool has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
