Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Ocracoke vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• In the Ocracoke area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Reserve your Ocracoke vacation home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Ocracoke visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you reserve your home.
