Tricks and tips to get the best Currituck vacation property experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Currituck area. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• In the Currituck area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best rental in the Currituck area:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Spacious 3-bedroom home with WiFi, smart TVs, in the peaceful 4x4 area of Corova has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your trip.
• If there's a certain Currituck destination you love, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
