Finding the best vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Corolla. To find the best rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Currituck attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain deals for local tours and attractions.

How to choose and book a perfect Currituck vacation home:

• Start by having your family agree to date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Bella Vita OBX: Beautiful soundside home with a private pool, hot tub, rec room has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
