Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Currituck vacation home in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to choose and book your prefect Currituck rental home:

• Start by having your family choose vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Soundside, Community Amenities, Sun Decks, 327, Footprints by the Sound has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. message the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect 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 comments.
