Booking the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Booking your Currituck vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay 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 evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Currituck area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking yourrental:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. WL933, Tale of the Whale- Oceanfront, Private Beach Access, Gas Fireplace, Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. 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 rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
