How to find the best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Choosing the best rental home:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. The Whaler: Affordable and comfortable Oceanside w\/ a Private Pool and Hot Tub has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If not, contact the host before you book your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
