Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Currituck vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Booking your Currituck vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies supply Currituck area travel guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best rental home in Corolla:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. 1472 Drifting Sands * 3 Min Drive to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you book the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Currituck attraction you simply love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
