Tricks and tips to get the optimal Currituck rental home experience:

Getting the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the perfect rental home:

• Start by having your family choose a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group 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 rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is best for your vacation group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your stay, record any problem areas during check in. Contact the host immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• 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 shopping?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
