Tips to get the best Ocracoke vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Ocracoke area. Book your vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your rental search:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on date ranges and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Shrimp and Grits: Cozy home in a secluded neighborhood has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If not, contact the host before you book the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Ocracoke beach you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Tips for a great stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
