Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Ocracoke. To book the largest rental home for your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Ocracoke restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Ocracoke area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

How to choose and book your prefectvacation home:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Dory: Canal Front Home in Oyster Creek has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Ocracoke rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
