Harbor House 2: Waterfront home on Silver Lake Harbor - Vacation rental home in Ocracoke, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 2 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Apartment

The old home, Harbor House I, was a appeal, sitting low and snug against Silver Lake, filled with memories, and sunsets daily. But too snug it turned out... Dorian had her way and the old place sadly succumbed.
In her place, Harbor House II has risen, simple still, but made grander by its sunny openness. Made magical by its handsome vistas and peaceful sounds—sunsets and the constant lapping of Silver Lake. A deep-water dock and new decking bring the harbor nearer, more accessible. Hints of the old memories remain, but far more await to be made--all of them now elevated nine feet, safe from the wrath of future Dorians. This Saturday turn day property eases you into a vacation mindset by providing linens and towels for your stay.

Rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Did you have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
