Tips and Tricks for getting the best rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Stella Maris: 5 Master Suites, Private Pool, Monteray Shores Community has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property management company before booking your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is right for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
