Our top Corolla rental property booking tips:

When to visit Corolla & When to reserve a Currituck rental home:

• Booking your Currituck vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the perfect vacation home:

• To start, have your family choose dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. A Raye Of Sunshine: Ocean & Golf Course Views has 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Currituck beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. text the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
