Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• To get the most suitable rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the best vacation rental in the Currituck area:

• First, have your family decide on trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oceanside, Screened Porch Dining, Priv Pool, Yard, Dogs Welcome, WW1042, Jolly Octopus has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. If not, email the host before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or may be applied to your agreement.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
