A brightly painted main room with a vaulted ceiling makes this modest home seem much bigger than it is. It has a entirely equipped sunny kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave, sizable coffee maker, pod coffee maker, french press, and coffee grinder.

For those who adore to shower outside, there is a completely private hot and cold shower under the home accessible from the screened-in porch.

The two porches make it simple to find a peaceful spot to savor the island breezes or cuddle up with a good book. The cavernous back screen porch is great as an early morning getaway with a cup of coffee or for appreciating a ballgame or meal with the family. “Just like sitting in a tree home!” The front porch, with two enormous Adirondack chairs located under a fan, makes a ideal spot for people-watching.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Ocracoke vacation home experience:

When to book a Ocracoke rental home & When to go:

• To find the best vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke visitors guide upon checking 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 articles, visitors guides contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to select the best vacation home in the Ocracoke area:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. After Math: Comfortable open floor plan and screened porch has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your trip.
• If there's a certain Ocracoke destination you crave, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
