Our top Rental home booking tips:

When to visit & When to reserve a Ocracoke rental home:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Ocracoke area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Rec Room has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Ocracoke rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is optimal for your group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a specific Ocracoke attraction you long to visit, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. message the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean 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.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host 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 described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
