Tricks and tips to get the very best rental home experience:

Getting the best value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, 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.

Planning and picking the bestrental:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Shades of Summer - Spectacular Ocean Views/165 Yards to the Beach has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a particular Currituck attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
