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 huge 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 gorgeous 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!

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the perfect rental in the Ocracoke area:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Context Switch: Great Ocracoke family vacation home in a secluded quiet area. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix 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 feedback.
