Currituck vacation rental tips and tricks:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Reserve your Currituck vacation in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental in the Currituck area:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Mercury Rising: Backyard Oasis with Saltwater Pool has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or could be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain Currituck destination you are enamored with, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

During your stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
