Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Summertime is high season in Carova. To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
Often, management companies supply Currituck area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the best vacation rental:

Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Newly built oceanside home situated among the dunes and wild horses in Carova! has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck vacation rental search.
Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property owner before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
If there's an individual Currituck destination you simply love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Tips for a great stay:

Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
Document any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
Did your group have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, 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 as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
