Vacation rental tips:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Currituck area. Book your Currituck rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Selecting and booking the rightrental:

• To start, have your group select dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Starboard Home: Semi-Oceanfront, Pool, Hot Tub has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is best for your group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Currituck destination you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Call the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
