Finding the best rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Reserve your Currituck vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Currituck visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing the perfect Currituck rental home:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. The Pony Tale, 4x4 Beach House with Ocean Views. Dog friendly. has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
