Ocracoke rental property booking tips:

How to get the best rental home value:

• To get the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Cottage, great for a couple or small family. has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book the vacation home.

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the host immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Please be objective.
