Strategies to get the best Ocracoke vacation rental experience:

Get the best value:

• To get the largest vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Ocracoke restaurants and activities.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Ocracoke area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the best rental home in Ocracoke:

• First, have your group select trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Dock of the Bay is located on Silver Lake Harbor with views second to none! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Ocracoke rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is best for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
