How to find the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Corolla. To get the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Currituck restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Currituck visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in Corolla:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Salt and Soul Cottage: Private Pool, Hot Tub, Community Pool, Close to Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If not, contact the host before you book the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Currituck attraction you are crazy about, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or might be applied to your agreement.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any 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 and video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
