Rental home tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summertime is high season in the Ocracoke area. To find the best vacation home within your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Ocracoke visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking the rightvacation home:

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Northern Pond: Dog friendly, wrap around porch, screened porch. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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 rental agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Ocracoke destination you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• During check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
