Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Currituck rental home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Currituck rental home:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Currituck area. Book your Currituck vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the best vacation rental:

• Start by having your group commit to dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. OCEANFRONT, Private Beach Access, Gas Fireplace, Ocean Views, WL933, Tale of the Whale has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If not, email the property manager before you book the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. 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 remedy it.
