We purchased our home at the end of 2021 and have been busy giving it tons of TLC.

Feel complimentary to launch the paddleboards right off the dock or bring your favorite fishing gear to fish off from the yard/dock. Of course, you can just relax in the Adirondack chairs by the fire pit or porch while your dinner is cooking on the gas grille. We even try to be flexible if you need a different check in/check out day or if you want to extend your stay for a few additional days (in advance).

Strategies for getting the perfect rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Corolla. To get the best value, try shifting your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• In the Currituck area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Currituck area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and choose a perfect Currituck rental:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Lovely Canal Front Home in the 4X4! Reasonable Rates! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. Otherwise, call the host before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is right for your family.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
