Tips to get the best Ocracoke vacation property experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summertime is high season in the Ocracoke area. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Ocracoke area travel guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Siren Song: Pet-friendly with a fenced yard has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, call the host before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a certain Ocracoke attraction you crave, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
