Our top Corolla rental booking tips:

Find your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the largest rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitor guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly 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.

Selecting the best rental:

• Choose your dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Starboard Home: Semi-Oceanfront, Pool, Hot Tub has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your family.
• If there's a particular Currituck beach you long to visit, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
