Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Corolla. Reserve your Currituck rental home in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitors guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself.
