Tricks and tips to get the best Currituck rental experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Currituck area. To find the best value, shift your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Planning and choosing your prefect Currituck rental home:

• Start by having your family agree to the best dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Mercury Rising: Backyard Oasis w\/ Saltwater Pool has 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically 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 shopping?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
