Tricks and tips to get the perfect Corolla rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, try shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Currituck area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the perfect rental in the Currituck area:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 1302 Castaway * 5 Min Walk to Beach * Pool has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Currituck attraction you are crazy about, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
