Strategies to get the optimal Currituck rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer is high season in the Currituck area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• In the Currituck area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefectrental home:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Dog-friendly
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you book your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Currituck destination you crave, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
