Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Currituck rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Currituck area. To find the largest rental home within budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Currituck attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting and booking a perfect Currituck rental home:

• Start by having your group decide on dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Sweet Carolina: Oceanside with a private pool, hot tub and rec room with a pool has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is right for your trip.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
