Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Ocracoke vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the most suitable vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Ocracoke attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Ocracoke area visitors guides that include money-saving deals, 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.

Planning and picking the best Ocracoke vacation home:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Cappy's Cottage: Dog friendly home with screened porch and deck has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Ocracoke vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Ocracoke destination you are crazy about, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
