Tips to get the optimal Ocracoke vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method 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 the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. 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 guides have coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking the best Ocracoke vacation home:

• First, have your group commit to the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Heaven on Ocracoke: Expansive views of the harbor has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or may be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
