Tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Get the best value:

• Book your rental home in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Currituck area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the perfect rental in the Currituck area:

• Start by having your family decide on trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Spacious 3-bedroom home with WiFi, smart TVs, in the peaceful 4x4 area of Corova has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Currituck destination you crave, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the rental manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peace. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
