Our top Corolla vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Corolla. To find the largest rental within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Currituck area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking yourvacation home:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Hot Tub
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Currituck attraction you crave, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
