Tips to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Getting the best value:

• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in the Currituck area. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Currituck visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

• Select your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. WW874, Whalecome Aboard- Oceanside, Private Pool, Hot Tub has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email the host before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. message the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
