Tips to get the best vacation property experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Ocracoke. To get the largest rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area travel guides which will 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 visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in Ocracoke:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. NP43: Charming waterfront home on Pamlico Sound has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is optimal for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Ocracoke destination you crave, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Advice for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
