Strategies to get the best Currituck rental experience:

When to visit Corolla & When to book:

• Summer is high season in the Currituck area. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Currituck area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the rightvacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a spending budget.
• Short Walk to the Beach has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific Currituck destination you are crazy about, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
