Getting the best Currituck vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer is high season in the Currituck area. Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Currituck area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. 1625 Drift-Woods *9 Min Walk to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. Otherwise, email the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. 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.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
