Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your budget:

• Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestrental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Beautifully appointed Corolla condo with direct beach access! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the host before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a specific Currituck destination you love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback.
