Tips and Tricks to get the best Ocracoke rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in the Ocracoke area. Reserve your Ocracoke vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Cappy's Cottage: Dog friendly home with screened porch and deck has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
