Tips and Tricks for getting the best vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Ocracoke area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Ocracoke area. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. 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 often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Ocracoke area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Escape Hatch: Pet friendly home, tucked among the trees, rooftop deck has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you book your rental.
