Tips for getting the best Corolla vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• To find the best value, consider changing your family's Currituck trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Currituck area visitor guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking yourvacation home:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Events
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before booking the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Currituck attraction you simply love, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
