Vacation rental tips:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Booking in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Ocracoke visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental in the Ocracoke area:

• To start, have your family choose vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Court Jester: Pet friendly, fenced rear yard with deck. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your trip.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to compel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
