Tips and Tricks to get the very best Currituck rental experience:

When to reserve a Currituck rental & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in Corolla. Book your Currituck rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship 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.

Selecting and booking the perfectrental:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Corolla has 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
