Our top Corolla vacation rental home tips:

When to book & When to go:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Currituck area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• In the Currituck area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.

You can also find Currituck visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the perfect rental in the Currituck area:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. 1662 Dune Our Thing * 10 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. Otherwise, contact the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from 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 your family have a terrific stay? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, 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 it a point as part of your review.
