Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Ocracoke area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Ocracoke area travel guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best vacation rental:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. CanalHouse Private Large Home on Canal Front has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Ocracoke attraction you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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 the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or could be applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
