Finding the best Ocracoke rental experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your Ocracoke vacation in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Ocracoke area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the perfect rental in Ocracoke:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. 'Baby Duck' -Make Memories in Our Charming Island Bungalow has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Ocracoke rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, email the host before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out 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! Hosts rely on good feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
