Our top Corolla vacation rental home tips:

Finding your best deal:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Corolla. To book the best vacation home within budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Currituck restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Currituck visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning and choosing the bestvacation home:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 1363 Dolphin Days * 5 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the host before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a particular Currituck destination you love, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Advice for a great stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the property manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms 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.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers 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 property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
