Corolla rental home booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitor guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the best rental home in the Currituck area:

• Select vacation week and budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Starboard Home: Semi-Oceanfront, Pool, Hot Tub has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before booking the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few issues.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• During check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
