Tips and Tricks to get the best rental home experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Ocracoke. To book the largest rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Ocracoke restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Ocracoke area visitors guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Live Oak Cottage: Newly built cottage perfect for two has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Ocracoke vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. Otherwise, call the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is suitable for your trip.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Call the property manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically 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 shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong 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 comments.
