Our top Ocracoke vacation rental home tips:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Ocracoke. Reserve your rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Ocracoke area visitors guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the perfect rental home:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Gemini: Canalfront, pool, main house and guest cottage, private dock. has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
