You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Ocracoke attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.

Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses.
