Tips and Tricks to get the very best Ocracoke vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area visitors guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking your Ocracoke rental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cappy's Cottage: Dog friendly home with screened porch and deck has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If not, email the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation family.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• Does your family require particular 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 persons with a disability. .

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
