Tips and Tricks to get the best Currituck vacation property experience:

Get the best rental value:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many management companies supply Currituck area travel guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• First and foremost, have your group choose date ranges and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Family Paradise in Corolla: Oceanside, 4bds, Pool/Spa, Dog-Friendly has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Currituck attraction you are enamored with, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. 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 a note as part of your review.
