Tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summertime is high season in the Currituck area. Book your Currituck rental in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Currituck area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your family select a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Ships Ahoy: Oceanside, Pet Friendly, Heated Pool, Pool Table has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific Currituck destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
