Strategies for getting the best Ocracoke vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your Ocracoke vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Ocracoke area visitor guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Newly Renovated Historic Ocracoke Island 3 Bedroom/2 Bath Home w/Lighthouse View has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a specific Ocracoke attraction you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
