Strategies to get the perfect Currituck rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• To book the largest rental home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, 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 details.
• Look for your local Currituck area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to choose and book your prefectrental:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 1242 Nautical Nook * 2 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Document any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
