Tucked back on a side road on the way to the Oyster Creek neighborhood, this Sunday turn day property sits right next to a peaceful creek on one side and a enormous side yard on the other side. The creek provides tons of nature watching from otters, herons, fish, and little fiddler crabs. This three-bedroom home has new owners starting in 2021 and is re-entering the rental market. The balcony off the master bedroom upstairs overs handsome marshy vistas of the creeks behind the home. A loft area upstairs provides a seating area in addition to the open floor plan below. Bask in the sun during the day on the front porch that wraps around to two side screened porches. Appreciate dinner or an evening drink on either of the screened porches. An outdoor shower and fish cleaning bench are under the home to use after a long day out at the beach. Four-legged family members are welcomed! To add to the ease of getting into a vacation mind set, this property does provide linens and towels.

Ocracoke rental property booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the most suitable rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Ocracoke restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Ocracoke visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Choosing and booking the best Ocracoke vacation home:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Context Switch: Great Ocracoke family vacation home in a secluded quiet area. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from 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 fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address 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.
