How to get the best Corolla rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Corolla. To find the best value, shift your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. C7369 Catching Rays: Oceanside Retreat with Pool, Hot Tub, Rec Room and more! has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. Otherwise, contact the host before you book the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If there's an individual Currituck attraction you simply love, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• During check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
