Tricks and tips for getting the best rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer is high season in the Ocracoke area. To find the most suitable rental within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Ocracoke restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Ocracoke area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Ocracoke area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the best rental home in the Ocracoke area:

• To start, have your family commit to trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Canel Cottage: Tucked in the trees, nearby kayak launch area. has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong 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 feedback.
