Our top Rental property booking tips:

Find your best deal:

• In the Currituck area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Currituck area. To get the most suitable rental within budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Currituck restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Currituck visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to select the perfect vacation rental:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Seaside Weddings & Retreats: Families to Forever has 18 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a certain Currituck destination you are crazy about, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

More considerations:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
