Corolla rental property booking tips:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summer is high season in Corolla. To book the largest rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 1680 Hopes and Dreams *8 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many problems.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
